Celebrating our Friend

Monday, our little group met to celebrate Sali's Tuesday birthday.  Monday night, her life group met...and celebrated her birthday. It is sad that one gets older with each birthday...oh yes, that is what happens. She was 6 hours older when she ate her birthday cake that evening! 6 hours! And the next day, she turned one year older. Scary, isn't it?

But Sali doesn't show her age. As a matter of fact, most of us are into covering up our ages these days. None of us are as young as we used to be. We still enjoy getting together. We just don't get as many chances as we once did. It just doesn't seem right, but the older we get, the busier we get. We raised our families and then we got more things packed into our lives, some times by choice.

If you ever see a group of vibrant ladies like these, please compliment them and offer to take their picture. lol  Actually, I'm not kidding about the picture. We like to keep a record of our outings. Often people will very willingly snap photos, if we ask them. Some even offer. Many times everyone looks too preoccupied to be bothered. That is when we pull our stunt where we take several pictures and put them together for a good group picture. That is what happened this week.  

On top of that problem, was another. There was no good place for the picture, one with a good background that isn't too cluttered. We tried one place on the east side of the restaurant, but it did not turn out well at all. So, I had to find another picture of the Blue Door online. It is a snap on google under images. But that meant, I had to 'cut out' all of us and 'paste' us (digitally of course) in front of the blue door.

Next for the background, I got really crazy. Don't know why I like to keep up with styles, fads, etc, but I decided to make this a little artistic. Not so sure I'm happy with it, but spent so much time doing it, it will probably stay this way. 

By the way, notice our clothing. It was February 20. It was in the 60's and has been for several days and supposedly will be for several more...maybe even getting up to the 70's. Feels great, but the  crawly bugs and buggy germs are not being killed out as they should in winter.
