In fact, I am pretty sure that it is speeding up!

👍You’re right, Loved. The chariot that carries the sun across the sky from morning to night never changes its steady, inexorable pace. Funny, though, time does seem to slow down when we want it to pass quickly👨🏽‍🦯; and it picks up its pace when we want it to slow down🏃🏻‍♂️. Maybe we are trying to pack too much into the 24 hours that make up each day⏰? Clearly, we can use time🤹‍♂️ but we sure can’t control it.⏳

🔔HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MONA AND STEPHEN👩‍❤️‍👨!

Greetings from us on this eighteenth anniversary of your wedding day💍. The album you posted on Facebook, Mona, is a visual celebration of your love for one another💕. From the wedding day shot of the two of you📸 through the highlights of this past year🗓️, the pictures show a glowing, growing love between you👫.

🎉A Sunday celebration should add an element of ease and relaxation to your anniversary. You can make the entire day your own💃🕺🏻, free of the pressures of an ordinary weekday🧑🏻‍💻. We join family and friends in complimenting you on the very special relationship that you are sharing, and on the love you have for your children👨‍👩‍👧‍👦. Congratulations!🫶

Here’s to many more such joyful anniversary days in your lives🔮. Salute!🥂

💌Lots of love,
Louise and David

Of course, Carter will be sharing the happiness of this special day with you👨‍👩‍👦. We hope your Sunday celebration will include a look back at your happiest of times👰🏻🤵🏻‍♂️, great fun in the present moment💃🕺🏻, and joyful anticipation for what is yet to come for you in your marriage to one another🔮.

🔔HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MARCIA AND DENNIS🎉!

It is another beautiful day in Peachland🍑 as we send these greetings on to you. 🗓️We know that the month of April always brings you back to BC but we aren’t sure where you are spending your 2023 wedding anniversary💍. No matter the place, have a magical Monday.🎈

Those of us who are retired can lay claim to any day of the week, making it suit us to a tee⛳️. That is the kind of thing we hope you are doing for yourselves🏡. We wish you a perfect mix of reflection, renewal and rejoicing🎭 as you celebrate your marriage of fifty-two years🪢, your remarkable family💕 and your own personal achievements👍. Congratulations!👏

Before this day is through we will raise a toast to your friendship👫 and love👩‍❤️‍👨 of 52 years and counting. Salute!🥂

💌Lots of love,
Louise and David

🎉HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NATHAN🧔🏻‍♂️!

🗓️A Tuesday birthday celebration is one that usually has to be put on hold until evening rolls around🏡. Here in Peachland🍑, all of nature is already in party mode as we send warm greetings to you in Ontario as you turn fifty-three.

Actually, Nathan, we hope your whole day is filled with reminders from family and friends💕 that your birthday gives them all a good reason to celebrate on this otherwise ordinary day of the week👨🏼‍💻. We ourselves are reminded that we have a special bottle of scotch on reserve for you in St. Andrews🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. It is not the Cardhu that we drank years ago in your name (that’s a story for another day)🥃. Still we think our own Gold Medal🥇, fiftieth anniversary Bruichladdich single malt, at cask strength, will also be a hit👌. (We’re sure it will be worth the wait, however long it takes for us to get it to you🍾.)

🏡We hope your family party for three👨‍👩‍👧 - you, Angie and Ryanne - puts the icing on the cake of a very satisfying day for you🎂. Salute!🥂

💌Lots of love,
Louise and David

🎁HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CORY👨🏻‍🦰!

This is a very special day for you💫. At the age of fifty, you have reached the half-century point in your life⏳. Congratulations, Cory👑. Our Book of Days makes this your GOLDEN birthday.🔔

We already greeted you on Facebook earlier today👋. You have probably also seen the long-ago picture of that group of eight happy people who are described by Sonia as a “pretty good-looking crew” - Marcia, Dennis, Brant and Shawn👨‍👩‍👦‍👦, 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦Carol, Tony, Sonia and you. How right she is about that! And your smile is as winning now as it was on that happy family day when you were just a child🧍🏼‍♂️. You have made a long and successful journey to reach this golden milestone in your life🏃🏻‍♂️.

🎉We wish you a joyful fiftieth birthday celebration with Amy💃, Norah and Simone👭 - your own remarkable family🏡 and another “pretty good-looking crew”😎. Salute!🥂

🚀From across the miles, we add our wishes to those of other family members and your closest friends who are part of your everyday lives🏡. They see you more often👋 and know you more personally than we possibly can from afar🌍. Still we hope this day’s celebration of the first fifteen years of your marriage💍 is full of memories and moments that sparkle like the CRYSTAL that symbolises this momentous occasion in your lives💍.

🥂Here’s to your continuing happiness together, Shannon and Luke👩‍❤️‍👨. Salute!🥃🥃

Eighty-two looks good on you👩🏻‍🦳! In response, you are most likely saying, “This is what 82 looks like.”🤷 And you may think so, Vic, but we believe your goodness, beauty and grace are keeping you forever young in body, mind and spirit💃. Congratulations!👏

Wherever you happen to be on this April Monday👩‍❤️‍👨, we imagine that you and Don will be raising a celebratory toast to LIFE🥂. We will be doing the same here in Peachland in honour of you🍑.

🎁HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KELLY🎈!

Our greetings are being sent to your from Peachland on this, your forty-fifth birthday🍑. Our Book of Days makes this a SAPPHIRE occasion in your life📕. Congratulations!👏

When we read a bit about sapphire📖, we discovered that it is known for its beauty💥, is found in every colour of the rainbow 🌈 and is one of the strongest minerals on earth💎. In fact, we smiled when we read that “good looks aren’t the only thing that makes sapphire a valuable jewel, it is tough, too🏋🏻”. We join your beautiful daughters👭, Dehlia and Piper, others in the family💕 and your closest friends💙 in celebrating all the remarkable qualities of sapphire that they see and admire in you at forty-five👩🏻.

Have a wonderful day today, Kelly🎂, followed by another personally satisfying year🔮. Salute!🥂

Louise and David

BJ said...

I've missed the first half of April completely. In fact, time did not pass quickly of slow down for me. It seems to have stopped altogether. Anyway I am back in the world again and have got caught up to date on reading the Blog. I hope everyone enjoyed their April celebrations and all of Lucy's great postings.

Thank you for my birthday greetings Lucy. Nothing could be more appropriate than your acrostic. I absolutely love it. I have copied it and put it on my fridge to read every day for the rest of the month.

I am hoping to see everyone in May and look forward to being with you then.

Love, BJ

Louise and David said...

🍑Our greetings are being sent to you from Peachland just minutes before we set out on a day trip to Kamloops.🚙 The weather here is especially nice today☀️. It puts us in the mood for celebrating life in general🎭 and your fifty-first birthday in particular🎁.

We are reminded of that long-ago trip we made north in Scotland🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 to have fish and chips with you in Aberdeen🍟. Once again, we are “seizing the moment” to make memories that will last a lifetime💕.

🎉Wherever you are celebrating today, Martin, we are with you in spirit👵👴, hoping you are having one of your best birthdays ever🎈. Slàinte mhath!🥃🥃
