Saturday Photo Hunt....Rows

What would this daisy like better than getting her Daisies all in a row

Closer, but not home yet!

This is a blue daisy because this daisy is blue. I am now officially in the USA but I am writing this post from the Crown Plaza in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

We got our luggage, went through customs, rechecked the bags, went through security (the third time today) and had checked in to make our flight to Richmond when they asked if anyone wanted to give up their seat for a free round trip ticket good until next October, hotel room, dinner and breakfast vouchers and assurance that we could be in Richmond by noon tomorrow.

Mr. Wonderful's hand shot up like fireworks on the fourth of July! So here we are in Minneapolis....tired but thrilled that we will be able to make our spring visit to see our baby and her baby.

It was a well timed trip and a wonderful visit but I do think they will need time to bond with their new baby and to work out their routine by themselves. Poor son-in-law needs some down time without whirlwind Daisy and dynamite Daddy rushing in to overwhelm them with unsolicited advice or totally taking over.

It's a southern thing that we consider quite charming but can be intimidating.

Home is looking better all the time but for tonight I'm bunking with my sweety in a king size bed, with a full stomach and the promise of spring....new life, and a free ticket to Saskatoon. Can life get much better than this?

I'll catch up with ya in the daisy patch.

A totem is any natural or supernatural object, being or animal which has personal symbolic meaning to an individual and to whose phenomena and energy one feels closely associated with during one's life.

Baby Girl and Hubby recently got back from a trip to Canada to see Niagara Falls. They also stopped by Niagara Totem Pole Park and watched Totem poles being carved. Baby Girl thought I would like this one. I wonder why? Check out her fate here!

Wordless Wednesday..... Daisy with Daisies

The anticipation of going to Serendipity 111 for frozen Hot Chocolate has finally been met. We were in the city on Fridiay and went to Serendipitys. There was a two hour wait so we did some shopping in nearby stores (Dylan's Candy Bar and Bloomingdales.) The wait was well worth it. So that's another thing I can cross off my "life list".

My birthday came on Saturday while we are at the National Missionary convention in Atlanta. I was able to have a celebration lunch with my gal pals. It was a great time of sharing, laughter, and fun. Thanks to each of you for making the day special.

The missionary men in my life, sang "Happy Birthday "to me in four parts ( what they lacked in harmony they made up with enthusiasm!) Thanks guys for letting me take time off to be celebrated!

The ring leader asked me if this was my 18th birthday to which I replied, "Yes, I'm 18 again for the third time!" ( As in 18+18+18, you do the math, I don't want to know!)

SO in honor of my 18th birthday....here's to the girl I was , to the mother I am and to the wise woman I am becoming!

Thanks for all the calls, cards, gifts and warm wishes.
