Me, knitwear model.
Pretty in Pink and 63 years old today. I should make myself one of these scarves...doncha think?I am happy to say I am healthy, wealthy and wise today, and have had a great year with lots of interesting ups and downs.
Who can forget Dave's accident? Quickly followed by the new puppy...
to make everyone feel better.
I am not blowing out any candles today, too much of a fire risk, but will just be lazy and count my blessings. It's been a pretty darn good year.
Happy Birthday!

Happy, happy day!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young, I used to think that "Age is just a number" was something that old people said. Now I know that it is also great experiences, wonderful memories, friends who finally understand me, and daily discoveries.

ReplyDeleteHi Melody,
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY! Your blog is so inspiring. Whenever I feel a need for a pick-me-up I check out your blog to see what you've been quilting, knitting, baking, sewing, photographing . . . and then I feel like I want to create something too.
Many happy returns! How amazing that you and your mum were born on the same day - I think you would've been a lovely birthday present :-)
ReplyDeleteWishing you as many more birthdays as you wish to have.
Happy, happy birthday. May warmth and hope be yours.
ReplyDeleteMelody - Happy Birthday and many wishes for a great year ahead. I follow your blog daily and am inspired by all you do. Thank you for your friendship and support.

Happy Birthday Melody! I am still loving your wonderful painting "Red Bells" and smile and think of you each day when I get to see it in person in my kitchen and again when I visit your blog to see what you have been up to lately. I hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI commented this morning, however, at the time thought perhaps it went into cyberspace never to be read here.
ReplyDeleteSure enough, when I just now looked NOT HERE.
It's a bit late in the day to wish a great birthday day.
So will wish you the very best for the coming years - hope they just get better and better for you, Melody.
Will be celebrating my own b/d in a couple of days.
Have new yarn for a baktus w/ bobbles ready to co.
Hugs,
Gerry
