The prompt for Week 45:  "one woman I love"

There are lots of wonderful women in my life, 
but if I could only feature one of them 
the "winner" would have to be my mother—
and . . . today is her 95th birthday!

The Prompt for Week 48: a present someone gave you

Turns out my birthday is the same day as Bella's daughter's,
but the most photogenic present I got this year was
a $100-dollar bill from my 94-year-old mother
(don't get me wrong; it was much appreciated).
However, last year I received a package out of the blue
from a distant cousin—and in it was this absolutely
beautiful cut-glass bowl that had originally belonged
to my beloved grandmother, Miss Lucy.  And may I just
say again, "Thank you very, very much, cousin Betty!"

The prompt for Week 28:  Celebration!

Just in time to celebrate Bella's birthday,
I found these balloons set in this tree to help
the guests locate the festivities for
another birthday girl—her name is Bridget
and she was turning (I'm guessing) 4 or 5.
Happy birthday to Bella and Bridget!

The prompt for Week 28: Celebrate

When I took this shot, everything was in 

place for my mom's 90th-birthday party

(and she wore that crown all night).

BTW, she'll be 93 on her next
birthday, and is still a
force to be reckoned with.
