Happy Birthday Great Gran

3 year old toasts 92 year old

Family gathered from near and far last Saturday to toast Mum/Gran/Great Gran

on her 92nd birthday

What a day to rejoice and be happy!!

Sorry this is slightly out of focus....

I think it's lovely though!!

Of course there was a cake...

and a lot of blowing out of candles!!

I didn't realise until today

that this picture also has a background photo

of my father..

.....which makes it even more special!!

I think someone asked about the little vase/jug

that my mother made

I love the vibrant blue with the turquoise stripes!

and use it (often with wild flowers)

all over the house!

The bowl, I showed before, is always in use...

often filled with fruit

Thank you all so much for your concern and suggestions...

I value them

and shall try to take them on board!

Personally, I feel my conclusion is that

I would rather be a rather tatty, not particularly

well shaped

certainly cracked and bubbled

but

useful and needed ...person

than.....

Someone who didn't like to get her clothes messed by

probably grubby and greasy

toddlers' hands

or wouldn't put herself out of routine

to help someone in need

(even if it meant missing a hair appointment)

I would rather have a full,untidy and useful life

than

be put on the shelf in all my beauty

just to be taken down and dusted once in a while!!
