Elegant...
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!
A very Happy Birthday to a lovely, lovely lady. I can tell she has been blessed in her life- she has a peaceful look in her eyes. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your birthday wishes! And Joan has such pretty blue eyes, I wish you could see that in a photo.
DeleteThanks again! xx
Oh, that's nice! Happy Birthday to Joan.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terry! And thank you so much for your good wishes. :-)
DeleteHappy 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!
ReplyDeleteAnd when you look like models, don't you think that Joan & Peter should want to have their photos on here?
DeleteThanks, 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.
ReplyDeleteOh 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!
DeleteThanks!
Life has its funny way with me all the time! :-)
Very sweet post! She seems like such a great lady. Happy birthday to Joan! How wonderful that the two of you have such a good relationship.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Martha! She is but bless her, I think that Joan still struggles to understand my Southern accent even after all these years. Ah don't know whyyyyyy, yah KNOWWWWW ah don't realllly, haaaave one?
DeleteSound 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.
ReplyDeleteThanks 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.
DeleteYou 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!
Happy Birthday, Joan!!! And many more, with your wonderful family.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kristi! Hope you have a wonderful light-filled Christmas! :-)
DeleteWhat a sweet and beautiful post! Joan will be so happy. Happy Birthday, Joan ~ hope your special day is truly lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, sweet Audrey! I appreciate your good wishes very much!
DeleteHi Kay
ReplyDeleteWe loved your blog and the photographs of all of us. Yes, we are a nice family. Thank your friends for all their nice wishes on my birthday. Love to you all. Joan and Peter (Kay's in-laws). XXX
Dear Joan & Peter,
DeleteYAY! 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!
ReplyDeleteMy 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".
DeleteGee 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!
Hello Kay,

Hello Ivan!

A belated many happy returns of the day to your mother-in-law! Or should i say "mother-in-love."
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi! "Mother-in-love", that's perfect! :-)
DeleteBelated birthday greetings to Joan. I hope she had a wonderful day. She certainly has the best daughter-in-law.
