- Getting so many nice birthday wishes from you and from old friends back in Arkansas, from my mom, from an aunt and from friends in Waterloo. I feel so connected!
- Making new friends among my classmates, feeling so comfortable with them that I look forward to seeing their faces each morning and asking how they are.
- Squirrels. They NEVER fail to lift my spirts. If I’m down, they bring me up; if I’m already in a good mood, they make me smile even more.
- The urban wildlife lovers. I see them coming to their stations once a day with grain for the pigeons and peanuts for the squirrels.
- My magic decoder ring. That’s what I call the big plastic ring my friend Amy gave me years ago. It is painted on the inside: a purple flower with an orange centre against a red background. I get lots of comments on it, and it makes kids’ eyes light up.

Didn’t realised you had a birthday around now. Happy birthday!

You would have loved the squirrels we saw this morning when we went to visit the owls. So many and all sitting upright as if holding a meeting of squirrels.
I am glad so many are honoring you on YOUR special day!!! Will Syl come to take you out and show you a good time?
Thanks for bringing to my attention that it is almost two years since I started blogging…thanks to YOU! Bless you Kelly. I am and will be forever grateful to you for this. How you have widened my horizons! Beyond my wildest dreams.
