Was she an angel?
She loved life right from the beginning.
Animals was the name of the game.

It didn't take long and I realized,
I did not have a girl who wanted dolls.
She wanted to feed the animals, play with them, pet them.
She wanted to go camping, fishing, motorbiking.
Ah, Ha!!! I did catch a picture with her in a dress.
There are the girls, Mikki & Suzanne in their twin dresses
and their ever popular Cabbage Patch Doll.
That was short lived.
And yes, she does play the violin.
It's music to my ears.
Maybe she'll perform for the next birthday.

But of course it's more fun playing with friends.
And as most of you know her today,
she is our Teacher and she loves to hike,
surf, snow board, cycle and you name it...
Live outdoors!
Everything but cook!
Yesterday we celebrated with the family.
A festive meal around the table,
accompanied by playing on the floor with the Little Men.
Oh, yes!
These adults checked out all the family pictures on my fridge
and decided it was time to make a new tradition.
Family Pictures!
And then the Dog....In the House????
Oh No!!!
They wanted to have their picture on the fridge,
but it needed to look different than everyone else.
Not only inside, but we all needed to go outside,
bundle into our warm winter coats,
stand freezing, waiting for the photographer,
jumping up and down, holding hands,
just to keep warm,
all for the sake of a
Family Picture!
Yes, we had another birthday,
and we made some new memories,
Happy Birthday Suzanne!

Love the walk down memory lane and your journey to new memories! Suzanne is a very special person...we wish her a fabulous day as she continues to celebrate today!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Suzanne! My memories of 'the teacher' go back a few years...when she was in a carpool to school...and I was one of the privileged drivers. She always had a smile...no matter how early the hour...and a good sense of humour even then.
ReplyDeleteAnd I so enjoyed listening to her play violin...accompanying the worship team on occasion...and serenading the residents of Heritage Village on a Sunday afternoon. She knew how to make it sing.
Enjoy your birthday celebrations!
Happy Birthday, Suzanne!
ReplyDeleteSmile...Family fun! what is better? Putting it up on the fridge to cheer you every time you open the fridge door!
