[freshwest]

[classof56]

3. I join in the celebration of your day, Freshwest.

Sheshe, you do know how to party. Thanks for such a fun one!

[sheshe2]

4. When I was younger, I sure did!

Thanks for joining the celebration, classof56.

[IrishAyes]

7. Show me the Blues Brothers and I'll do damn near anything you say,

so long as it has nothing to do with voting Republican, that is.

I just LOVE that movie!

[sheshe2]

11. LOL, I would never ask you to do THAT!

Here are some more~ free of charge.

[IrishAyes]

14. An embarrassment of riches indeed.

[freshwest]

28. Oh, thanks for joining in!

[freshwest]

5. Thanks for all of my favorite things! I am honored, folks! Thanks, Obama and all!

Just so happens I have a little slice of carrot cake that's got my name on it. So I'll celebrate to the music and especially that favorite Christmas music!

[sheshe2]

6. Happy Birthday freshwest!

Yum, carrot cake.

I knew you would love your favorite Christmas song, as a gift~





I hope you had a sweet day~

[freshwest]

9. Pretty good so far. Nice and mellow, but cold. Speaking of cold...

Have emailed a firm in MA to get your little gift to you. Hope to hear back from them soon. In the meantime, be careful!

[sheshe2]

13. You are sweet, freshwest~

If you can believe it, it's going to be in the 50's Saturday and then 60's Sun/Mon with lots of rain. From zero to sixty in a week, go figure.

I have been careful, I tread warily.

Mellow is good, cold is not crank up the fire.



and enjoy Nat King Cole

Nat King Cole - Unforgettable (duet with Natalie Cole)

Amazing. So very beautiful.

[freshwest]

15. Ah, my dad never sang, but he was a big Nat King Cole and Johnny Mathis fan. And that's beautiful.

Well, he did sing Fernando's Hideaway to me one time as a kid, teaching me to dance with my feet on his as we waltzed around the living room. Like this pic here:



He was very big on Christmas and we knew he was Santa early on. Didn't you say your dad or grandfather used to sing the song, Oh, Tannenbaum to you?

And wow, that is a lovely gif:

[sheshe2]

16. Yes, it was my grandfather that sang it. He had a nice baritone.

You waltzed on the tip of his toes, beautiful memory fresh~

I love that picture, sweet~ Life's a dance

[freshwest]

19. Thanks. We'd play the record player on top of the television...

I used to make music with a set of castenets in each hand:



And tamborines, flutes, stuff like that...

[sheshe2]

20. I love that video,

and that tune will carry in my head for some time now!

Thanks for sharing it, freshwest~

[IrishAyes]

8. Happy Birthday, our good friend

You've earned it, and many more.

[freshwest]

10. Thanks Irish! Keep warm with those doggies! Are they good foot warmers? n/t

[IrishAyes]

12. For about 30 seconds each, until one notices the other's position and the usual

play-fight erupts. Sooo glad they're totally devoted, because otherwise I'd have something to worry about. They snuggle together all the time, though. And as Brigid matures, she's slowly learning to sit on the floor next to me and then she'll get her ears scratched real good. I'm trying to encourage MM to sit on the other side where I can rub her tummy with my foot. But so far that doesn't last very long.

The chows each had one of Mom's feet for their very own, and that worked out well. I could foot-rub 2 bellies and type away with no problems at the same time. Sometimes they'd growl warnings at each other, and I couldn't maintain decent posture, but we managed.

So you are home. ET phone home. Speaking of such, how did it go with your phone?



Thanks for all your additions, grand as always. A beautiful celebration for a well deserved lady~

[Cha]

36. It's Perfect~You're an Inspiration, she~

I got on DU late and saw it was fresh's Very Special Day so I whipped up a Birthday post asap!

Thanks for the ballet gif.. beautiful, she~

I had the most awesome day today Celebrating fresh's BD and I didnt' even know it.

The "Phone" experience went Brilliantly! I got to hang out with Tim for an hour in the ATT store while our helper transfered the data from my old phone to my new "flip" one. It was complicated because mine was old school and he had to get the manager to assist.. but, they did it.

Tim was cracking me up the whole time.. he was in a good mood for taking a break from his job in the middle of the day and the store being super busy. I gave him his birthday present from August and he gave me the phone for mine. I love my new cell~

Speaking of "brilliant".. that's your thread, she~

[sheshe2]

37. Beauty and Grace need to be Celebrated Cha~

Without that in our lives, it would be meaningless. That is what I like about DU and especially the BOG.

So glad you spent some time with Tim and that he cracked you up! You deserved the day. It is the simple pleasures in life that have true meaning.

Yea for your new phone, you rock!

and thanks for your sweet compliments on the thread.
