A blue thistle at Wye, England
Today I received a lovely package from Blue, which prompted me to post this photo in her honour. Merci bien, dear Gillian, for your thoughtfulness and friendship!
This is my longtime friend Linda's birthday, who along with her husband Omar (another Virgo baby), visited us in April. She's a news reporter in the US and I hope they're letting her off work to celebrate. Happy birthday, Linda!
After handily defeating Namibia in their last game, France faces a crucial test tonight against Ireland. Whichever team loses probably will be out of the Rugby World Cup competition. Allez les bleus! Update: France won 25-3!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead! When you have a spare moment, check back for more posts and photos, as well as the final installment of the hilarious observations of artist Leau Phillips at the New Mexico State Fair. They don't call it the "Land of Enchantment" for nothing!
Birthday best wishes to your friend. The blue thistle is lovely!

Happy Birthday to Linda as well and I must have wished you a very happy birthday a few times for extra luck.
Blessings abound for you all.
I love you darling one.
May your years be full of health, love, peace and joy!

Oh and Happy Birthday - the same sign as my mother and she's a strong, interesting person too!

I predict (and have been from the start) that the final will be between the ABs and France and that France will win. I'm almost tempted to bet on it!

Happy Birthday darling friend.
May Heaven smile softly and hear your every wish.
I love you
Jeanne

Blue is such a sweetie and how nice that you received her package on your BD! I hope it was great! Your birthday, not the package as I know the package was great.
Viva la France!
Tara responds:
Thank you, Mary! My b-day was the 10th; both the b-day and package were great!
