Hello Everybuddy, this is a bit of a mixture today. First is our entry for Sarge's bird competition.
Flamingo at the Adelaide Zoo
Pelicans at the Adelaide Zoo
Adelaide Museum - Eagle (not sure what kind)
Galahs in Adelaide Museum
Pterodactyl sand sculpture (does this classify as a bird?)
Thanks Sarge for hosting such a fun competition.
Also today is my big brother Paul's birthday. He is 25 and mum says she can't believe it. Here he is with our angel Nana when he was about two weeks old. Happy Birthday Paul. Love you heaps.
Today is also a very special day because it is two years since our Nana passed away. It is a huge mixture of emotions for Mum. This date of 22 November holds the memories of giving birth to a Son and also of losing a dear sweet mother.
Nana holding Mum
Mum, missing your dear sweet face.
If anyone has their Mum nearby, give them a hug and tell them its from Carol because I would love to put my arms around my dear mum today.
Have a great day everbuddy.
No worries, and love, Stella and Rory

Hi there C
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Paul!
Ironically (you probably remember anyway), my own mom passed away on the 14th Nov (2 years ago) - just before yours. You are correct...how wonderful it would be to give her a hug...just once more.
Love your birdie pictures. Say 'Hi' to Adelaide for me.

Happy Birthday to Paul; we wish him a day filled with special surprises and love. And woos of loving memories for your mum as she remembers Nana. The cycle of life is bittersweet but the heart remembers what makes it worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such kind words of comfort. It is a scary time right now for the White Dog Army, not knowing what is happening to my brother, and your prayers are much appreciated. We could feel your support; please know it helps.
I'm sure your Mum knows how much she meant to you... and I bet Nana is proud of her furry grandkids as well as the hooman ones! Deccy x
