HAVE I BEEN GONE FOR THAT LONG?

Hello dear blogger friends. Yes, I've been gone a long time, have I?  I had intended to take a short time off from posting but it stretched out for way too long. My life has taken on more responsibilities and there never seems to be enough time and my energy is spent at the end of the day. 

I'll gently get back in, little by little. I'm tired but healthy except for the occasional wear and tear on this old body. 

I'll go back and share some photos of a great surprise in January this year. My husband and I were at our regular pub restaurant, having breakfast on Sunday morning, when all of a sudden, out of the blue, both our daughters arrived unexpectedly at the restaurant and surprised us with hugs. One flew all the way from the Capital to celebrate her dad's birthday,  with a planned birthday party. This was so unexpected but we were so glad to see both of them. The family knew about the surprise except my husband and I.

                       Jackie is hugging her husband Bill who was cooking the turkey

                     Bill is a great cook. The family all gathered for a great feast but I didn't take many pictures.

After the tasty meal, the table was cleared and the cakes were brought out along with the birthday hat and the balloons.

                        Here, great grampy is blowing his birthday candles while Miss I.  and her big brother  C. 

                        are looking on with big smiles on their faces.

                     Our new little great granddaughter was peacefully sleeping and I wanted to take her photo 

and the two older sisters wanted to have their picture taken with their little sister and woke her up in the process.  They are so proud of their new baby sister.

       

  Of course, this one loves to have her photo taken. 

Thanks for visiting my blog. I have more to share and of course, it's all old news.lol...

Take care everyone and enjoy the summer. Hugs.
