Happy Birthday WonderWoman!!!
Since reaching 84, I find that my tears are really close to the surface and I can tear up reading a book! So when my only offspring has a birthday, it is really easy for me to get sappy! I am going to try hard not to sap this up. But that's hard! I read somewhere that "happiness is when your kids turn out to be good people". I agree with that, but there are also bonuses beyond that. I am just going to share a few photos that make me smile.

WonderWoman and Superman are still so in love, I couldn't have asked for a better husband for my daughter, or father for my grandsons.

This unforgettable image captured the bond between John Unger and his elderly dog, Schoep. As Schoep aged, arthritis and hip problems made rest difficult and movement painful. To help ease his suffering, John carried him into the calm waters of Lake Superior, where the buoyancy took pressure off his aching joints and allowed him to relax enough to sleep.
The photograph touched millions because it showed something deeper than pain — it showed loyalty, patience, and love returned in full. John later spoke about how much Schoep had meant to him during one of the darkest times in his life. Whether people saw the image as grief, gratitude, or devotion, it became a lasting reminder that kindness given to an animal can come back with extraordinary power.

Dear Jackie, I loved the expression of the girl in "Hot Yoga". and the touching tribute to your daughter and her family, Lovely. Fondly Yours, LOIS OLSEN
Dearest Jacki.
You have every right to be proud. You have a lovely family that is every growing, and the fact that you share this precious group with us in your blog, makes our lives nicer too. Please keep it up.
Thank you dear Lois, I so appreciate your kind words and your friendship too.
Thank you, Carrol. Years ago I used to journal everyday, and then the journal morphed into this blog. I fear it might be too personal at times, but it is sort of a mirror for what is going on? Thanks again for your kind words, support and friendship over these many years.
Jacki, I'm so grateful you share such lovely pictures of your wonderful family. For me it's not too personal and never too much. You can be so proud of your family.
Best wishes to your daughter for her birthday and for you for having such a great family.
Thank you, Elenor. She will see this and thank you as well for your many kind words. I appreciate you and your great friendship from across the planet. Love and prayers for you and your beautiful family.
