Happy Birthday, Miss Elaine!!!


Over the past few years, I have been corresponding with my Mom's 1st cousin. Her name is Elaine and she is a real dear to me. We keep in contact mostly through email and she reads my blog. And since TODAY is her 88th Birthday, I wanted to wish her a very happy day! 


Elaine, of all of the people I know...you are one of my favorites! Happy Birthday!!!


Photo taken a couple years ago when Elaine turned 86.
Hard to believe, huh? She looks AMAZING and is smart as a whip, warm & funny!


We've never met in person. Perhaps someday? I would love that!
Have a blessed day, Elaine.


And of course, it would not be complete without a word from Maximus.





Love,
hi-d

teeehee....that Maximus...he always has a kind word!!!!!

HEIDI DEAREST! Elaine looks amazing! Anyone who can reach this age and still look good and DO GOOD has been blessed not only with grace from God, but with the sense to follow each day with LOVE and creativity leading them.

Thank you for your kind visit and words. THE UNEXPECTED or an ELEMENT OF SURPRISE is one of the tools of poetry...I so hope to really write poetry that speaks to the human being.

HAve a GreAt HoliDay!!! Anita

HEIDI DARLIN'!!!!

Oh dear one, how are the swimming lessons going??? Have they worn you out? Being NEAR the water and under the sun and having such fun has always made me sleepy at the end of the day! Is Maximus making a BIG SPLASH? I bet he is!

Ahhhhh.....it is Saturday but I had to force myself to remember what day it is; these days, each day just dances by so nicely with no worry about GETTING READY for school on Monday. This is good.

Swimming lessons, 4th of July, light meals and iced tea are all being embraced with much joy this year and I wish you DELIGHT this day. Thanks for stopping by my friend! Anita
