I am always giving reasons why I am behind on my blogs - but here goes for this month. What kept me away from being a good blogger.
Valentine's day
My daughter's birthday and making her blanket.
Harriett Tubman and the Underground Railroad Project
The folder jacket HAD to be 3-D and stenciled letters.
Inside he had to draw three illustrations. There had to be four sources - note cards - bibliography - 600 word paper - oh yeah - the famous outline we did about ten times.
You would think this teacher expected him to get a PHD in English with this thing.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
That is 8 motorcycles in one cage at the circus.
King of the beasts???
Lots of elephants
Grandson's favorite - the llama???
Girls in balls in the air.
So of course the circus took a day.
That is 8 motorcycles in one cage at the circus.
So of course the circus took a day.
Oh and let's see - my dear friends took me out for my birthday and we had to have some play time.
Sandie- Joyce - Susan - and Linda
I am so blessed to have them in my life.
Sue made me a birthday cake. It had some orange peel taste on the outside - it was so good.
Wonderful GIFTS!
I loved it all.
Got a sewing machine from my family. Now I need to find a project!
Dinner with my dear friend Denise - with my mouth open - chatting...
Today is my actual birthday - and do you think I'm going to take it easy?
NO!
NO!
I am going to see Bon Jovi!!!
My daughter and her friend (like a daughter to me) are taking me out to dinner and to see BON JOVI tonight at the Phillips Arena downtown.
I love his hair - don't you?
SO DO YOU UNDERSTAND NOW WHY I HAVEN'T BEEN ON TIME THIS MONTH?
THANKS!

Hello dear Sandie....I'm sorry to be late to your party...but I just spent TWO HOURS working on a facebook imposter! Accckkkkkk! I swear, I am so close to deleting it and just staying with my blog. I don't even like facebook! LOL
I'll send you an e-mail a bit later!

Sandie, you are precious. Happy birthday!! I wonder if Jon Bon Jovi still has all that hair? Something tells me no, but you'll enjoy anyway! What an awesome birthday treat. :)
Well good for you being so busy and having so much fun with friends and family. That's the way it should be too!
Happy Birthday and enjoy the concert!

Looks like you will have a great time tonight: dinner and Bon Jovi.... Life is GOOD.

WOW, YOU'RE OLD! (I'm only kidding.) You're actually a kid compared to me. I could have been your babysitter when I was 13 and making 50 cents an hour. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Enjoy Bon Jovi.

Happy Happy 60th birthday Sandie. Eeeek! Believe me, it only gets better from here on in!! I was surprised to see the circus photos. We haven't been allowed to have animals in the circus for many years over here.How lucky are you, getting to see Bon Jovi. Love them - have a great time and I wish you only happiness in the year ahead x
Happy Birthday Sandie!!!!

Happy Birthday, my sweet friend.
Regarding blogging: I can remember having six blogs at one time, every one of them updated regularly. That seems like such a long time ago but was was actually only about five years. Now it's all I can do to keep one updated. Since Johnny's death is harder to stay focused but hopefully before much longer I'll be back on track. I'm so glad your birthday was so great.
Take care,
Love you much.
Happy Birthday, you should sneak backstage maybe you will get a birthday kiss from mr flying hair.
Merle......
You HAVE been busy...and a sweet and loving lady.

Have fun tonight
Diana
Happy Birthday to you!! I can just picture you at the concert. It sounds just plain wonderful to me.
And I feel your pain about the project. I didn't mind so much when the girls were in elementary school, but we had an honor's English teacher in high school still assigning the things, and she had those kinds of stipulations.
I just want them to write (and her to grade) a paper. Grumble...
Happy 60th Birthday, Sandie!!!! That's a milestone that I celebrated last year. Going to see Jon Bon Jovi, huh?? Well, he is just gorgeous and has such a fabulous voice so you should enjoy yourself. Can't believe everyone here doesn't know who he is??!!
Hugs!
Happy Birthday, my beautiful friend! I want to hear all about that hottie Jon! :) Enjoy!
Ohhhhh, Sandie! Look at all the beautiful comments you got on your special day. SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE YOU!
Hope the day was great, the dinner luscious and the concert fabulous.
You deserve the BEST. Susan
Happy Birthday and welcome to the wonderful world of the 60s........I'm half a year older than you. Sigh. Looks to me like you had a fabulous time so far with more to come!
Happy Birthday, Sandie! Our birthdays are only a few days apart and a few years apart. :)
How cute are YOU?!!! I hope your today was nothing short of spectacular!!!
Happy birthday! Wow, you have had a busy month. Sounds like it was a good one.
