Three Birthday Cards...and Another Sign of Spring

I have several birthdays coming up that I need to send cards for. The first one is for a friend of mine that I haven't seen in, well, too many years. We do talk on the phone and on facebook. Ah, the wonders of technology...lol.

We use to bowl together. I think he'll like this card.

This was the fun part...making the cards. Now for the hard part...remembering to send them...lol. I am so bad with that. At least I feel as though I'm ahead of the game right now.....

Here's a little glimmer that Spring is on it's way...

I saw my first robin a couple of days ago. This one was sitting out back this morning. Actually, he was out front first, on a pole (picture perfect), but I didn't have my camera handy. I ran upstairs to get it, but he was gone by the time I got back. I looked out back (just in case) and there he was. (Yes, I do realize that it COULD be a different robin, but I really don't think so...he was a fat bugger...lol)

Hoping that your day goes well...until the next posting....enjoy...imagine what you could do....
