HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Anne !!

I thought I would share just a few things that you love....... I hope you have a wonderful day surrounded by the memory of all these things ~

with the exception of maybe the beer truck..... That little memory will be with some of us for a long time..... (:

Oh, I had to steal just a couple pictures from your blog ~ I didn't think you would mind since it was all in your honor.

I really hope you take the day off and go to lunch with a friend or do something with Gary in the evening. You've been working so hard on that church banner, you deserve a break!!!

HAVE A FUN BIRTHDAY, ANNE!!!! Make it one to remember!

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

THANK YOU!!!!! What a delightful surprise~~all the things I love, INCLUDING *my* beer truck! LOL! :D
What a way to start my day~~~thank you, thank you, thank you!
I guess 51 is looking better and better...heehee!
Plans for the day:
Started it being lazy covered up on the couch watching an episode of "Angel", having coffee with Sweet Pea, hubby is bringing home my fave pizza and will watch "The Hog-Father" tonight (a quirky cult flick from the DiscWorld series) and I think all I am doing today is working on a piece of ART! (or snoozing!)
And......I got snow for the b-day.
I have everything, especially good friends!
Now we all need to take off for New Orleans and celebrate!

XXOO~~♥♥♥

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.
