Pink Saturday Birthday!

 Happy Pink Saturday!
Thank you to Beverly at How Sweet The Sound for hosting every week.

I decided to post today, because TODAY is my BIRTHDAY!
I am enjoying it by staying home, loving the sunshine coming in the house
and decorating for Christmas!

 Here is some pinkness. Flowers in Spokane when I was there in July!
 This is me when I was 6 and my baby brother was home from the hospital.
 Me in PINK! Taken in Spokane this summer in July when I was attending the
8th Triennial Convention and Gathering of the Women Of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
I was a delegate for the Convention portion and then stayed for the fun part!
 This is me now! 22 pounds less than the previous picture!
Yay!
Also with me are my two precious granddaughters. All my kids were home for Thanksgiving!
Meaning the parents of these lovable girls, my son and daughter-in-law
as well as my daughter! 
It was considered an early birthday and Christmas present to have them here.
Last year I was in Florida visiting them for my birthday!
I wish we lived closer so I could see them more often.
 Shaylee who is 5 and in kindergarten.
I miss her hugs and her calling me Grandma Nea!
 Kaylyn who is 1. Miss her cute expressions and waving "Hi" to us all them time.
I made this cute PINK toy for Kaylyn while they were here!

55 years old! Wow! 
I can even starting getting some senior discounts now!
For example at Hancock's Fabrics on the first and third Wednesdays
I can get 15% off on my purchases there. 
Just gotta remember to go when it is the first or third Wednesday!

Happy Pink Saturday to all!

Happiest belated Birthday, dear one..and many congratulations on your awesome weight loss. I sure could stand to lose 20 or 30 lbs, myself. Maybe after Christmas I can get started on a program. I dread it like the plague because the hardest thing in the whole wide entire world is having to watch what you eat. :(
So, girl, you ROCK !!
Have a Merry Christmas and see ya after the holidays. :))
