Keeping my mouth shut!

There are more quarrels smothered

by just shutting your mouth,

and holding it shut,

than by all the wisdom in the world.

This is my newest signature on my work e-mail. It's a reminder that I don't always have to say my opinion out loud. Sometimes it's better if I don't!

Tulip Time

Our friend Peggy and her husband have moved to more a temperate climate. What no more wind and snow?? They visited a tulip farm on 4/30/09. I love the gorgeous pictures!

Peggy's e-mail:
"Last Wed. we went to a Tulip farm where they had 40 - 50 acres of tulips here are some pictures."

This is my favorite picture!! I love the candy stripe tulips!

Neat landscaping!

The azalea bush is their yard is in full bloom! Our bush finally came out in bloom almost a month later.

So the date is a bit deceiving...the quilt was for Christmas 2007 but didn't get completed until Christmas 2008

Sophie's 5th birthday!

From my friend Betty...

Monday was Sophie's 5th birthday. She said to tell everyone thank you for the cards and birthday wishes.

I've attached pictures of her cake with candles (it's a Twinkie that has the middle portion cut out to make it look rounder), her with her cake after the candles have been blown out (and yes, I did sing "Happy Birthday"), and her with her birthday gift (a stuffed toy that is nail "pawlish). She had a good birthday with a long walk, a ride in the car, another walk, a special chicken and vegetable dinner, and then her birthday cake and gift.

We drove to the cemetery to put flowers on my mother's grave (Alene Nesbitt) since Sophie was born on the same day that Mom died. Mom died May 4, 1986, Sophie was born May 4, 2004.

Love to all,

Mom/Betty
