It doesn't matter

Nope.

It doesn't matter what the heart is made of.

All that matters is the love.

I know Amie and Emad

are loving each other today

on their wedding anniversary.

Keep on loving each other

and your beautiful family.

Administrative Professionals Day

Back in the day,

when I was in the corporate world,

it was called Secretaries Day.

Doesn't matter what they call it

as long as they honor and celebrate

the people that help them do their jobs.


Thank you to my sister
for the beautiful large brown flower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Professionals, I hope your office staff
honors and celebrates you today and every day.
Enjoy your day!

!! Happy !!

It's a happy day, indeed.
I cannot believe it's been 24 years
since my son and his bride said "I Do!"
But, yes, it's been that long.

My son and my daughter married in the same year.
Son first.
If you know Donald and Dawn,
you would think this couple is them.

And it's a happy day for Lidia as well.
She's not celebrating her anniversary though.
It's her birthday!

Kick up your heels and celebrate.

Enjoy your day, Lidia.

More Chicagoland celebrations

Happy, happy birthday, Ewa.

By the way ...

the image of the lady with the red hair

was no mistake!

If you know Ewa,

you know she's got beautiful red hair, too.

In your Easter bonnet

Through the years ...

Looks like the Easter bunny

was hopping through the snow this year.

As I grew, so did the bunny.

In addition to the bunnies,
my parents always, always, always
went to Peggy Gray's Candies
in Erie, Pennsylvania.
I can still taste the chocolate bunnies!
And the best part?
I'm pretty sure they are still in business.
If you live in the area,
I highly recommend a visit.
Oh - and have a bite for me, too.

Okay - enough reminiscing!

Let's get down to the present.

Monica sent friends and family
Easter cards again this year.

Kathleen's aunts

received these cards.
I love the bunnies in this image,
I had to create another card presenting them.

And last but not least,

sweet Vicki is remembered again this year.

Grieving is painful

Yes, it is!

A few of my friends grieve.

Hopefully, a beautiful sympathy card helps,

knowing that others care.

Even when a pet leaves us,

the grieving is painful.

Birthday Wishes for another friend

Krista has more than one friend.

Therefore, another birthday card.

 Perhaps all three friends

will be kicking up their heels in celebration.

Happy birthday, Kelli.

Birthday Wishes

From a friend.

To a friend.

Because that's what friends are for.

They send each other birthday cards

and shower them with their love.

That's exactly what Krista has done.

Here's hoping your day

is filled with love, Cassie.

Enjoy!

A Springtime Birthday

A Springtime birthday

deserves a special Springtime bouquet of flowers.

Happy birthday, Marcelle.

I know your brother wishes

he could spend the day with you.

I'm just not sure

Does she love books more?

Or does she love flowers more?

It's probably a toss up.

Doesn't matter

because she's got both.

Happy, happy birthday, sweet Kay.

Enjoy your day!

Mariah Grace

Such a beautiful name

for such a beautiful girl.

It's difficult for me to wrap my head

around the fact that she

is 18 years old today.

Where has the time gone?

I wrote in the card:

"If you save this card for 63 years,

all you have to do is turn it upside down

and you'll have your

81st birthday card."

And of course,

I signed it "with love

from Chew."

Go ahead.

Turn your head upside down

and you'll see what I mean!

Happy birthday, Mariah Grace.

A double happy

It was a happy day xx-number of years ago.

I'm not just being kind.

I really don't know

how many candles Julie will be blowing out today.

(Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell though.)

Happy birthday, Julie!

Celebrate and give it all you got.

Krista's papaw celebrates today.

I guess it's okay to say this.
He celebrates 82 years of life.

How fortunate!

Sir, I hope you enjoy everything about today.

Happy birthday to both of you!

Chicagoland celebrates

Yes, today the celebrations

are for Patti!

I'm sure there will be

celebratory foods on her dinner plate.

Whatever the fare, enjoy!

Celebrate in style - and all month long!

Nobody is as sweet as Vicki

If you know Vicki,

you love her.

Today is her birthday.

I know she will enjoy every second of the day.

Happy birthday, my dear!

Belated birthday and on-time engagement

Sometimes things slip through the cracks.

I'm not proud of it and I apologize

to you, Olivia, for forgetting
to post this on your birthday.
I hope it was happy
and you were spoiled silly.

Best wishes and congratulations

to Keith and Elly.
