Wanna Surpirse?

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy sweet sixtyfi-iv
Happy Birthday to you!
Love you Mom!
Yes, my sweet Mom turned a young
65, this Saturday. She was busy doing the business thing--so we celebrated today.
Now I am not bragging-- too much-- but, I made a killer seafood lasagna for today. Have you ever made something and it was so good that you surprised yourself? It was the first time I had made it so I had to warn everyone in advance.
But seriously--it was FANTASTIC!
We had that and a great salad and French bread of course. Why of course? Because if you live in Louisiana you eat French bread with everything.

It was a lot of fun!


The picture below is of me and my little sister. She is 7 years younger than me. Yes, I changed her diapers--and then in turn~ she changed the diapers of my kids. Talk about pay back. ;)


Hear is Keith showing them our pictures from the mountains. Can't you tell Jeannie is just thrilled? I sure hope that Keith did not show them the picture he took of me using the nature potty. :0 !!!!!!

Here is proof that lunch was fab!
Dad said that I had better remember how I made the lasagna--because it would need to be remade. Hint! Hint!
That made me feel good.
Have I told you that I love this guy?

This is what my husband says spending too much time with my family does to him.
What a man--who could resist that face. Notice that no question mark followed that question. ;)
Have I showed ya'll what spending time with Keith's family does to me?

Just kidding---neither spouse was harmed while spending time with the others family. :)
Unless I can blame all my gray hair on that.

Now for a little fun!

Mary over at Mary's Writing Nook -is going to lead us out in a little fun. Ready? I have participated in a Pay It Forward a month or so ago. This will be a little different.
This time I will get to touch three peoples lives. O.K, o.k.--stop jumping up and down so that you can finish reading. Are you back???? Good. :)
Who does not like to get a little surprise now and then delivered to your door?
No---I will not be showing up on your door step personally.
Phew!!!! Now that you can breath again............
Oh, I forgot this---I found out about this over at Samaratin Womens--yes, a good pass on from Denise.
Thank you Denise--love ya girl!

Here are the rules:

1.~Leave a comment on my blog that says you want to play. First three folks to comment will get a gift!

Those were some funny pics tonight. Your mom looks beautiful and fit. What type of seafood was in that lasagna?

Denise said...

Your mom and dad make a very lovely couple. Your sister is also a cutie. You of course are a true beauty.

Happy Birthday to your mom. I make a seafood lasagne too, but the last time I did it, I estimated that it was a forty dollar dish, so it is only for really special occasions. My mom's bd would count!

It looks like you had a wonderful time at your mother's birthday. You have such a close bond with your families.

Today is Family Day here in Ontario - a brand new holiday. I do hope people use it to spend time with their families. The family needs to be brought back.

Take care and thanks for sharing this wonderful celebration.

Blessings,
Mary
