Instead of a Card

How about this groundhog, looking right at me?

Sighting along the Heritage Trail when I walked with my friend Jen Tuesday morning. She spotted him.

I was not thinking about his being in the rodent family.

Happy September 8th Birthday to
my sister Mary
and
my friend Terry!
They share the date

Mary and I have been to Punxsutawney twice to celebrate Groundhog Day holiday and also to Woodstock, Illinois where they filmed the movie.

What We Share

An enjoyment of baked goods. I didn’t eat any of these but I am sure we would have had fun together if we did.

flower cakes

Cake flowers from NYC shot last Spring

The enjoyment of flowers (although you’re a good gardener, I like to look at them)

flowers for marlene

Real flowers and bird eggs 

We are fortunate to share the love of grandchildren.  That’s the best thing to share.  Shared love and laughter. 

Have a wonderful birthday, Marlene! 

Happy Birthday Marlene.

(And you share a birthdate with my mother Marian VanSickle Hendricks born 1912)
