Good luck, Loved.
For today, and the rest of the year. Stay healthy, stay safe and stay off the roof.

Love, BJ

Hi there, Ed
😍Thanks for the new strand. The days and weeks go by so quickly that it's easy to miss the beginning of another month. For us, February is off to a warm and wonderful start with family in California. How can we help but have a great day? Same to you, too!

😍Love, Louise

Mary Ellen said...

Happy February to you too Loved. And you definitely are LOVED!

Love ME xo

Louise and David said...

πŸŒ…There is nothing quite like a week with family in sunny California to loosen Winter's cold grip. Thanks Vic and Don and Marcia and Dennis! Enjoy the days and weeks that are still ahead of you in Palm Springs and Hemet.

❄Cheers and love from Peachland,
Louise and David

πŸ’‘ HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, LOUISE AND STEPHEN!

Yesterday we would have been sending warm greetings from Palm Springs. Instead, our wishes are coming to you from our mountain-side home in snowy Peachland.

We'll just have to create a little warmth of our own by pouring ourselves a wee dram and raising a celebratory toast in your honour.

Congratulations on your 17th wedding anniversary. Here's to you on this 4th day in February 2015 and to many happy returns of this special occasion in your lives.

Cheers and lots of love,
Louise and David

πŸ’‘ HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, JOHANNE AND KENNETH!

Congratulations on your 15th wedding anniversary. Our Book of Days suggests a gift of RUBY or SAPPHIRE. Both stones come up in the anniversary chart again at 40 and 45 years respectively.

Whether it be red ruby, blue sapphire or neither, we hope today's celebration is a delightful gem of its own. May it hold the promise of many happy years of married life for you.

Here's to you on this special day and to the perfect combination of music and art. Cheers!

πŸ’Œ Lots of love,
Louise and David

πŸŽ‘ I'm remembering Dad today, February 9, 2015. He has been gone for 20 years now but he is still so present to me in my daily living. I often fall back on his wisdom or tap into his positive attitude about life. I appreciate the way that he lives on in me.

Lui said...

I knew you would post something today, Louise. It was the first thing I thought about this morning and I checked the blog just to confirm and acknowledge your thoughtfulness. He was a great man!

Mary Ellen said...

I agree. He was a great man and I miss him.
His saying "There's a reason for everything" has helped me many times in my life. That's just one of the many ways he helped me!

Love,
ME xo

BJ said...

I agree, too. Many of the things he said, and the way he lived, have helped me. He was a truly good man.

Love, BJ

Louise and David said...

Yes, Lui, Mary Ellen and BJ that was our dad for sure and I have savored your comments about him on this day of remembrance. Thank you!

We hope your Friday birthday celebration extends into a weekend of enjoyment and relaxation.

We're sure that Brant and the kids will make your day special for you. We can't send you sunshine from the Okanagan Valley but our wishes for your happiness are as warm as they can be.

πŸŽ‚ I guess today just feels like Friday to me, Juliana. You'll simply have to turn your birthday into a long weekend from Thursday on. No matter what, have a happy birthday. Here's to your good health in the year ahead.

Cheers, Louise and David 😍

BJ said...

Great recovery, Lucy! Your second greeting is even better than the first. I love reading your calendar good wishes. They are so clever and fun to see.

Louise and David said...

Thanks, BJ! Imagine my delight when I discovered that yesterday was Thursday and not Friday. Dave and I are supposed to drive over to Chilliwack today. We might have arrived a day early!

LOL, LucyπŸ˜„

πŸ’‘ HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, GHIE AND PAUL!

Congratulations on the third anniversary of your marriage in Manila. You had to wait two more years to be together in Canada for this celebration. No wonder you turned the occasion into a weekend of special events!

We're happy to be able to share the joy of this 2015 anniversary with you. May your love for one another grow day by day and may you spend many years of happiness as a married couple. Cheers!

πŸ’ Lots of love,

πŸŽ‚ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KENNETH!

Our greetings are being sent to you from Calgary this morning. The weather here is colder than we are used to, now that we have a place in the Okanagan Valley. Anyway, our wishes on your birthday are as warm as they can be.

Have a really great day from beginning to end. Enjoy whatever celebration you and Johanne have planned for your 47th birthday. May the year ahead of you be one in which you continue to make beautiful music in the best of health.

πŸŽ† Cheers and lots of love,
Louise and David

πŸŽ‚ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARGARET!

Your day in Scotland is already hitting full stride. It's practically tea time in St. Andrews where you and Peggy will be sharing the best birthday cake ever - home-baked and made with a mother's love. We can almost taste it across the miles.

Continue to enjoy what is left of this special day. Here in Canada we are celebrating right along with you by keeping you in our thoughts as we enjoy time with family in Calgary.

We wish you a great day today and another whole year of happy, healthy days.

πŸ’Œ Lots of love,
Louise and David

Louise and David said...

Oh Margaret, I see that I took a whole year off your life! I guess that's better than adding one.
πŸŽ‚ Happy 58th birthday to you, our dear friend.

Love you lots,
Louise and David😀

Therese said...

Hi Louise. Remember at the end of Fiddler on Roof when the people were leaving? One was going to New York, America and another to Chicago, America. One said, "we'll be neighbors". Your being in Calgary reminded me of that. 'Makes me want to say come on over for a visit. So close and yet so far! Love (-:hristine

Christine said...

Sorry about that. Therese must have blogged when she was here. (-:hristine

Louise and David said...

You have to believe that I thought about dropping in on family in Regina, too. As you say, Christine, so close and yet so far.

Love ya from afar,
Louise

Christine said...

Of course, I know that a trip to Calgary always brings Regina to your minds as a possibility but this time of the year is the worst time to do it. We pretty much don't drive outside the city for 4 or 5 months of the year. They say "You know you're Canadian when you measure distance in hours". I admire you guys for travelling over the Rockies to visit your children - again - especially in dead of winter. The thought terrifies me! It's just comforting to know you are so close! And memories of August help a lot too!!! Love (-:hristine

Louise and David said...

We really got lucky, Christine. The mountain roads were bare and dry and the weather was spring-like. It was one of our best trips from the Okanagan Valley to Calgary.
Calgary is cold but bright, and the grandkids are rays of sunshine in our lives.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HOLLY!

Your Saturday birthday closes out the month of February. You might say that Year 2015 is March-ing on.

Cheers and lots of love,
Louise and David
