Happy Birthday to Joan!

 
Elegant...
 
                                                                  Witty...
                                                                  Proud...
Beautiful...
 
                                                   
All describe my mother-in-law, Joan, whose birthday is tomorrow, December 5th.  Happy Birthday, Joan!  Please send your best wishes to Joan! Just look at that smile!  What an elegant, beautiful lady!
 

And the Queen sends her best wishes too, but don't worry, you are not old enough to get a card from her, not just yet anyway!  :-)     With Much Love From Your CHEEKY Daughter-in-law.  xx
Why do they say "Mum" in England and we say "Mom" in America?  These flowers are called "mums" so here are some mums for you, Joan!

    Happy Birthday to you, Joan! I am glad you have given Kay permission to show photos of the family - we'd love her blog anyway, but since she talks about you so much, it is just a lot nicer to actually see the people she's on about!

      And when you look like models, don't you think that Joan & Peter should want to have their photos on here?
      Thanks, Meike, for your kind words, as always!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a lovely English lady. I came to your Blog via Scriptor and I first met him - a man from England - in Scotland when we first moved up here and stayed with his brother Graham, before we bought our house. Life has a funny way of leading you around and around, before it lets you meet the best people.

      Oh yes, I should have titled this "Happy Birthday to Joan- A Lovely English Lady!". There, I should email you next time I am thinking of a special post title, looks like you could come up with the perfect one!
      Thanks!
      Life has its funny way with me all the time! :-)

    Sound like you have a great Mother-in-law, I did too, and though she died 23 years ago I still miss her. So happy birthday to your lovely MIL.

      Thanks so much for your well wishes for Joan. I am sorry that you lost your mother-in-law. We need to be grateful for every minute with our loved ones.
      You know, I just saw those letters MIL, on someone's blog, it took me a minute to figure out what they stood for. I am so old sometimes!

      Dear Joan & Peter,
      YAY! So happy to see your comment here and thankful that you are not TOO mad at me for putting you on there, Joan, with that hair dryer on your head!
      You look good, even in that! How many could say that?
      So glad you liked the little cowl I made for you, hope it keeps your elegant neck very warm! xx

    Happy birthday to Joan!

    My daughter calls me Ma - I think she's been watching too much Little House on the Prairie! She also calls me Mother but usually only when I'm doing something embarrassing ;-)

      Oh, I loved Little House On The Prairie! And my Dad called his mother "Ma", and I called my mother "Mama" but my son called me "Mommy" and then, "Mom".
      Gee whiz, what will the next generation say? :-)
      Oh and I do remember "Moth-ER", said just that way, eh?
      Thanks so much for your happy birthday wishes for Joan!
