RED ROSES for SPECIAL FRIENDS

It's 2 special friends birthdays to-day.

As l like bright colours,   l wrapped their presents in bright yellow paper.

Over the last 30 years we have always given each other a flower, or a bunch of flowers.

Time to check out my garden, October is a lovely time to have a birthday, and as we have a cottage garden their is a lot of flowers to choose from.- But l was just drawn to these perfectly formed dark red rose buds

l couldn't believe that  their were 2 of them exactly the same, and l know they weren't out yesterday

 The photo below is of  lneka and Edie, and even though Edie is 85 she is just as young as we are.

Actually their are 6 of us freinds that have been meeting for the last 30 years.

2 birthdays in January and February, so we share that day, 2 in May and June that we share, and of course the 2 in October.

Sometimes the husbands are very privileged to be asked!. We do all get together at Christmas time of course.

A Time of sharing with special freinds,a lovely meal and the opening of gifts

PRESENT SHOPPING

I spent this morning present shopping. 

March is a busy month for birthdays. I have a husband and 2 sons born in March. Also a sister, a brother-in-law, 2 grandchildren and 2 close friends.

Of course cards are a necessity. As I approached a card stand this particular card caught my eye. I started laughing standing there on the footpath. This card was perfect for my sister as this had happened to her.

Not at a restaurant but doing her normal weekly shopping. Halfway through her shopping she stopped for a cappuccino and a toilet break. She then continued on her merry way going into many shops until some kind lady tapped her on the shoulder to tell her that her skirt was caught up in her knickers (undies). At least she didn't have a bunch of toilet paper trailing behind her!
