It's Harper's Birthday!!

I'm here! I'm here!!! Thank you everyone for your fantastic birthday wishes, gorgeous flowers, handmade cards and wonderful friendship. You guys are great.

I was sleeping late on Friday. Two of my friends came over after that and started to paint my bedroom. Now the ceiling is half painted and all the furniture is moved into the center of the room with a drop cloth. I'm sleeping on the couch. I'll try finishing it this week. Then I went to their houses and partied all night Friday into Saturday. Children were present, so mostly we drank wine and put together 500 pc. puzzles. Last night I came home, argued with DH, and watched "Y Tu Mama, Tambien", whoa! That's a whole lotta stuff going on in that movie.

Now here's today. DH is happier and I'm taking DS out to eat a CHABONGABURGER as soon as his homework is finished. The local ice cream parlor/ greasy spoon, makes 24 oz. hamburgers. DS has been wanting one, so I told him he could have a go at it for his 12th birthday (his was on the 7th). I treated myself to a couple hundred spring bulbs today. I can't wait to plant them.

I love you all
Harper

Should have started on the wine before the painting! Happy belated to your son - ask for some Lipitor with that burger!!

Hey, no fair! The birthday girl left the building.......probably with Elvis!

Glad it was a good one, Harper - you deserve the best.

Victor, what's Lipitor? I have pictures coming of the big burger feast.

Thank you pirl!!

Lipitor is the unclog your arteries from eating big burgers topped with buckets of bacon drug :~)

Well. at least I didn't miss EVERYTHING! Happy birthday, Harper. Eleanor, you're welcome to use my picture anytime it helps to locate a MIA birthday girl...

x, C

Oh! Eeeew.

Thanks Carrie!

Harper, you can celebrate that you are still too young to know what Lipitor is!

Or that her cholesterol has not been a problem yet. Many people still don;t have it checked.

The colonoscopy birthday got my attention!

Especially since the birthday candle was used to light the way.

Yeah, I thought they could have waited until my party was over.

All parties need entertainment.

Ugh! Come on you guys, I'm about ready to eat dinner now.

Bon appetit!!

Its a public service announcement.

By the time I get to the big Five OHHHHHHHH, I'm hoping the virtual one will be the standard.

Dear Harper,

Happy belated birthday--so sorry I'm late. I wish you a wonderful year--much sunshine and beautiful flowers.

Loretta

And they used your photo on Bloom on your birthday, Harper!! How cool.

No apologies necessary Loretta. That rose is beautiful.

Victor, I didn't notice that they had my flower up on my birthday! Thanks for pointing that out. It made me all teary-eyed. There is none better than Dave's Garden.

Harper

Hey Harper--
A bit belated, but a very happy bloomin' birthday to you!
Yea for Lipitor--could be a dahlia name, but it isn't. Yet.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. (Virtual chuckling.)

CCG - It would be called Harper's Lipitor for a dahlia name.

After Harper's Bizarre Burger.

You keep harping on about this don't you.

You're pulling my strings.

I thought the two day rest might help. Wrong! (Thankfully)

Happy, Happy, very belated birthday, Harper!!! I just caught this thread and am so sorry I didn't see it on time!! It sounds like your birthday weekend was quite the celebration!! You are such a special lady, so I'm sure your year to come will be filled with many lovely moments and blessings.

Please put Debilu's beautiful butterfly picture right here ........it's what I'd send if I had one that pretty!!

Thanks for all your sweet words Louise! Yes, this year will be fantastic.

Back to the Lipitor, I have photos of the 24 oz. Chabongaburger. He was just starting it in this one. They used pita bread as the buns. If he could finish it in 1/2 hour, he got a free t-shirt.

He did it! He was so proud.

HURRAY FOR SAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Belated Happy Birthday to Sam, too!

Congratulations to your boy. Too cute!

Congrats to Sam! Now quick - make him run two miles!

LOL barf!

Thanks Pirl, Dave and Victor! Carrie, you made me laugh. You should've seen the "small" fries I had. They were about as big as the Chabongaburger!

Don't lose your shape over some fries!

Pirl, you're too funny!

I gotta say, I'm not the type to watch my weight. I pretty much can eat whatever I want. (running and ducking)

I was being very sincere, Harper. I think you have a lovely shape and hope you always keep it that way.

Awwww, you're the sweetest Arlene. Thank you.
