Birthday Card from Glenn

I could not keep this to myself!

The first time I saw you, I somehow knew you'd be important in my life.
In my eyes, you were beautiful in so many ways.

There was no doubt that I wanted to spend forever with you.
And when we joined our lives, things were every bit as good as I'd hoped.

I didn't want anything to change.

But...LIFE is full of changes, and not every day can be paradise. 

Together we've faced reality, the day-to-day "bumps int he road"
that test every couple's patience.

I've seen you in many challenging situations, and the miracle is
you're even more beautiful
than I thought possible!

You're sweet, thoughtful, strong, supportive, and a partner anyone would want on their side.

Not only are you the woman of my dreams but you're also my best friend, and as time passes, I fall more deeply in LOVE with you. 

Happy Birthday!  I love you more everyday, Have a wonderful birthday. 

Your loving husband, GLENN

Pumpkin Festival Fun

A few highlights from my trip to Sarasota's 21st Annual Pumpkin Festival...
Pumpkins, Pumpkins everywhere!

Goose Gourds...So sweet and appealing!
My nephew, Nicolas and his friend Michaela, acquiring shaved ice snowcones from a local vendor.

Strawberry delight snowcone in purple flower cupholder.
Randy's famous Kettle Korn

Placid and docile owl, extremely splendid.

Encountering new friends.

Beautifully knitted caps and handmade flower adornments.


My day could not have been more flawless, as I embraced the day enjoying glorious weather,  family and friends and the ever so fun task of selecting the perfect Jack -O-Lantern pumpkin. 
Our evening was magnificently as fun as we enjoyed an amazing meal cooked by Michaela's family and last but certainly not least, Kala's fantastic home-made chocolate, peanut butter cheesecake.  YUMMMM!
