since I started blogging. I have to thank my
wonderful daughter for showing me the ropes
and pushing me in head first.
I have met lovely people on the way and made
a few dear friends in distant places. For that I
am most grateful.
Learning by example and a few excellent tips
on bird photograpy have made a great deal of
difference in my aptitude and attitude, and in
consequence I now catch an occasional bird in
good light and in focus.
I thank all you kind bloggers for your encouraging
comments which I treasure and relish .
What better way to celebrate my 100th. post than
by wishing my wonderful granddaughter endowed
with style and flair, who gladdened our hearts by
joining the Christmas festivities in top hat and tails!,
is endowed with talent, beloved of animals,and cooks
like a dream
THE HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY ANYONE
HAS EVER HAD!
May your wildest dreams come true!
On such an occasion, even this grandmother can
rise to baking a favourite summer strawberry flan.
Wishing everyone, everywhere a wonderful day!
Stay safe, stay warm or cool as required, and above all,
stay happy.
Arija - I feel exactly the same about starting my blog - how lucky we are to be able to chat to like minded people on the other side of the world. Your grand-daughter looks fantastic - as does your strawberry flan!
ReplyDeleteA very happy new year to you all - and happy blogging for 2009. Keep in contact - it keeps us all going!
Oh that cake looks very delicious. I always love any variation of the suit and tie on a woman. I think that is very sensuous. Some can pull it off in a very feminine way and others in a masculine cute way like Annie Hall. Lovely granddaughter of yours Arija, I am sure she appreciates your baking skills.
ReplyDeleteAs for blogging, I have to give it to you. Six months only and ll these fans of yours?! I am one of them. A good and wonderful person is very difficult to pass up and I for one am the most grateful for your friendship.
Congratulations on #100 and I look forward to many more! Happy Birthday to your granddaughter too!
ReplyDeleteLove the top hat and tails! Now THAT's style! I started blogging just six months ago too. Isn't it just grand to meet so many people? I think you are the farthest from me in distance!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I have started blogging as well as I have met so many new friends as well and learned a lot that I did not know as I grew up basically all by myself with no parents.
ReplyDeleteYou not only made friends but YOU have given out some very valuable information and advice and I cannot thank you enough. (HUGS)
Your granddaughter is very pretty and looks stunning!
I wish you and your loved ones much peace and love into the New Year. May it be happy and healthy!
Thanks for being a wonderful person!

ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is a cutie. And she does have style - every woman should wear a top hat and tails at least once in her life! :-)
