Silke's Surprise Birthday Bash

SURPRISE!!!!!! Hey Silke! It's best to take birthdays with a few grains of salt! .................preferably around the rim of a margarita glass!!

I think we'll start the festivities with a MARGARITA CUPCAKE just for you. It looks REALLY good!!

After your cupcake, you must have a nice cold PINK MARGARITA! YUM!

Once you've enjoyed that nice pink margarita, you need to move on and have a COOL GREEN MARGARITA! UM UM UM!!

Well, let's see now. Pink and Green makes....... BLUE ???? Let's all have a BEAUTIFUL BLUE MARGARITA!

Now that you've enjoyed those margaritas, I think you should head off to MARGARITA ISLAND for a few days of Birthday R&R. Sound good?

While you're staying on MARGARITA ISLAND.......... you will enjoy lots of SUNSHINE!

And BLUE SKIES!!

What's a trip to Margarita Island without SAILING off into the sunset......

And LOUNGING at the shore........

Oh........

A BIRTHDAY DINNER on the beach at night?

A MUST!!!

And.... a few CANS OF PAINT await your arrival so if the urge to paint hits you, just pick up this brush and paint away!

I hope you enjoyed your Birthday trip to Margarita Island, Silke!!!!!!

HAVE THE BEST BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!!!!!

I wish you many happy, sunshine filled days!!

P.S. I don't know how to make the music notes on my keyboard either so I just copy and paste them from where ever I see them. ♫♪♫ works for me.; August 13, 2010 at 10:47 AM

For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come!

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

~ James Kavanaugh

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
