Surprise !

Hi all, well I just had to post something today. I was SOOOOO surprised when I went to work today ! There were some cards and gifts waiting there for my upcoming birthday !!! Tina gave me this wonderful almond scented hand cream and the best card ever !!! It suits my situation totally !!! Pat gave me a gift certificate for a manicure or pedicure at her nail place (one of my favorite ways to get pampered), but there was also this beautiful bouquet of flowers from Sharon's garden ! They were simply gorgeous. Sharon has a beautiful backyard full of wonderful flowers, hummingbirds, goldfinches, etc.

I was so intrigued at one of the flowers in particular. Tina pointed it out to me right away. It's the most unusual rose I have ever seen. It's actually brown and IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE that color!!! It's absolutely gorgeous. There are also some very different looking flowers that are white and a pink color. They don't even look real, but are. I'll have to ask Sharon what the name of those are because they are really, really, pretty.

Anyway, I just want to say thanks to these wonderful ladies for making my day so special !!! They are so wonderful to work with and to be friends with. I love them all and Thank you all so very, very much !!!

Oh yeah, since Sharon has birds in her backyard too....I thought I'd post a couple of pictures of the birds outside my office window. These are some that I get to enjoy everyday !!! The first picture is a hooded oriole. The next two pictures are a bullock's oriole, and the last picture are my goldfinches.

Well, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Happy Mother's Day to all my wonderful family and friends !!!

Love to all....take care
