Celebrating Friendship Day

Celebrating Friendship Day today (rather yesterday, 3rd of January) when Amy, Sonia and I decided to make a go @ a 12 hour bash of talking about nothing.  Amy's Vittorio wonders... what do three "old" ladies talk about for 12 hours straight !!!  LOL...





The drinking resulted in diminished brain cells.  When going home to beat the ding dong chimes of Cinderella times, we turned into "rags" as we reached home @ 12:05AM.  This is attributed to poor eyesight, as we prematurely exited along the highway and lost our way, with no GPS to assist us.  LOL you guys... this comes with increasing age.


To Beth F Orpilla & Luz M Buccat:
HAPPY 66th Birthday
  Hope you had a "chauffered" grand birthday today with all the trimmings !!!

A Change of Season 2012

A Change of Season 2012
The first snow storm of 2012 heralds the coming of a New Year!

Side by side, the Maple Tree on the left shed it's leaves during the Fall season; The Alberta Spruce on the right, stands majestically upright during the Winter season, with brightly colored green pine needles cradling the first snow fall of 2012.  The ever green tree reminds me of the one and only Alberta Spruce along Magsaysay Avenue at the foot of Session Road, decorated in glitters and multi-colored lights during the holiday season. Is it still there?
