...My sweet adorable brother (that should be a clue right there) sent me a birthday card -
We are from the PNW so the tall redwoods on the front made me think of 'home' .. and it reads
"Birthdays always remind of of the giant redwoods on the West Coast. The way they stand tall and proud year after year, century after century. Their majestic beauty never fails to take my breath away."

.....Thank You For Planting Them....
Happy Birthday

The smallest Cross in the corner is the one you put in the room.

I hope all our daily ups and downs are with needle and thread.

I laughed out loud last month when I read this card on the rack. I had to buy it for a friend's birthday. Luckily, she thought it was funny too. Paybacks though.....hmm..

LOL! That is the kind of card my son always sends me for my birthday.


I don't mind coming to work. But that 8 hr. wait to go home is a drag.

That's funny! Remember the series Wagon Train? Well, I knew my Dad got here on a ship from Italy, but after watching a Wagon Train show where they stopped in Kentucky, I asked my mom if she ever rode in a covered wagon.

Sweet. My grandniece asked DH today if he was 75? You had to be there. The look on his face was priceless since he is only 64.

I can tell you have a wonderful fun loving brother. They are great to have. Mine steals my c h r I s t m a s trees if I don't keep it locked up each year. Never have found a way to get him back.

... aaah MeME .. I'm so sorry ... it was so dreadful losing my daughter, I just cannot imagine losing my brother. I can sense your heartache. I wish I could comfort you, hugs are always so nice, <<<>>>
I come from a big family of 'Wing Nuts' but I think he and I are the last of the lot .. gotta get 'im ... can't let him have the last word Smile
************** I think this card is especially special as he just lost his wife of nearly 30 years just 1 year ago - she always did the cards and gifts .. he didn't forget.
