I don’t want to mention any names, but someone is having a birthday tomorrow. I definitely won’t mention anything as crass as age, but can you guess who this birthday person is?
The picture above shows her with her father before she grew into an accomplished drive-by shooter (with a camera!). But even at that young age she was in the driver’s seat, making sure the men in her life went in the proper direction.

As you can see, Birthday Girl developed an early appreciation for flowers. So really, what choice did I have but to promise her a rose garden?
I’m sure you’ve figured out by now that the Birthday Girl is my Beautiful Bride, Betsy. If you would like to wish her a Happy Birthday, you can do so by clicking HERE.
I’m trying my best to have a proper birthday celebration, so we may not have much computer time through the weekend. But we’ll both be back on Monday.

Happy birthday to Betsy! I admired those very lovely photos.
BTW, I’ll be off and will return after three weeks on Friday with a new post. My wife started her holiday and next Monday we are going to the North far beyond the Arctic Circle by our car. The trip is planned to last from 10 to 12 days.
