HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

 Sorry about that I felt I should post more than a title but hadn't come up with anything yet. Right about now I'd come up with the old joke " I made a resolution to make no resolutions this year". Ha ha. This year I've decided to make a bunch and see if any of them last. They're pretty simple, for some people I guess, for example I'm going to try to eat healthier, which you'd think would be easy because I eat like a garbage can right now. That's not that much of an exaggeration either, Deanie sometimes says "we can eat off our kitchen floor, not because it's that clean, because we drop so much food on it". You know that "five second rule", all my life I thought it was five minutes. One of my other resolutions is to drink more water, when I was installing hardwood Pat used to say to me, " Ed, I spill more water than you drink". I've never been a water lover, I had a life long dream of being able to walk on water, not because I thought I could be like Jesus, that would have been tough, no, it's because then I wouldn't have to get wet. Another is always getting the blog renewed on the first day of the month. Let's see how this year goes.

Thank you, Louise and Dave, for the lovely birthday greeting, beautiful compliments, balloons and party favors. I did get mom's and dad's party favors on my birthdays. I think that was quite brilliant of them. I also remember the big birthday parties with turkey and cake and lots of siblings & their families around to celebrate. I now wonder how mom and dad managed that, especially after their new year's eve parties. One other fond memory is that the only time I thought I might have to work on New Year's Day was in 2020, when we thought the computer systems might blow up. It really can be fun being a news years baby. Happy Birthday to the other ones in our family. (you know who you are!)

Christine said...

Just a small correction. It was the year 2000 (Y2K) that I was "on call" for work. It would have been the only birthday I had to work in my life. I guess we could say that some things did kind of "blow up" in the year 2020. Somehow I lost 20 years there. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Louise and David said...

✔️We knew what you meant, Christine. Many of us were following Y2K predictions at the turn of the century⌛️. It’s interesting to learn that you were actually on call to work that day☎️. Oh, the memories, eh!๐Ÿ’‍♀️

I wish you luck in posting on the first of every month, Loved. And I am going to keep you company by reading the blog on that day.

Here I am, a few days into my 74th year and it would seem my propensity for procrastination continues to hound my being. I am very pleased with my birthday greeting along with the personalized birthday card I received by snail mail a week ago. As I said, procrastination has stunted my response. I really have no other excuses, I happen to have oodles of time, although it takes a great deal of it to come up with something to say. Sometimes it is hard to express, in words, the gratitude you actually feel for the thoughtfulness of a well written greeting. So thank you Louise for the birthday card and the blog entry celebrating my birthday it is very much appreciated. By the way, I had a great day on the 16th.

Well, there is magic in those words, Edward๐Ÿ–Œ️. Now I’m finding it hard to “express the gratitude (I) actually feel for the thoughtfulness of a well-written” thank you๐Ÿ’Œ. We’re glad you had such a great day on the 16th๐ŸŽ‚. Somehow, we knew you would๐Ÿช.

๐Ÿ’žLove you lots,
Louise and Dave

๐ŸชHAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAHLESS๐Ÿ„‍♂️!

Congratulations on your twenty-third birthday๐Ÿ‘. Wherever you are on this special day๐ŸŒŽ, it will likely be a warmer place than Peachland ๐Ÿ‘where the temperature is well below zero and more snow is in the forecast☃️.

Still, we are predicting a bright day for you๐Ÿ’ฅ as family and friends wish you happiness, good health and prosperity at 23.๐ŸŽ‚ We hope it is fun for you to share this occasion with them first-hand๐Ÿ’ž or, as in our case, from across the miles๐Ÿš€. As you know, we make a point of joining the party whenever someone we love is celebrating an important day in his life๐Ÿฅ. Today that someone is you๐Ÿ’‍♂️,

Before this day is through, we’ll raise a celebratory toast to you, Kahless๐ŸŽ‰! Cheers!๐Ÿฅ‚

๐Ÿ’ŒLots of Love,
Louise and David
