Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you..:)

This past year's photos some good and some gorgeous. I am deliberately not mentioning
the news because there is really nothing to say. Alexandria is still standing and the flowers are still blooming. God still reigns. and I miss all my friends. Soon I will done with this humongous new learning experience at this age.. sigh.. and I can resume my favorite amusements.. swimming, and writing, hanging around the beltway and maybe even Del Ray. hugs xoxo izzy
