Surprise...

Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 8 August 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

We were happy Noah was on duty and he was equally happy to oblige us with a return picture for Barbara, when we walked into Hella's early for a bite to eat on our way home from Tampa! ♥

Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

@MJ: Hi, M.J. ... good to hear from you. Noah is going to have his own blog at the rate we're going. <grin>
We've not eaten at Rusty Bellies ... yet, but someday we will!

Barbara from Florida, United States

I'm laughing, I think the neighbors heard me. I can't believe this. What a special gift and absolutely hilarious.
I believe we have found a new profession for Noah. Online greetings and a big smile from Noah for your birthday.
Judy, this is incredible. Bob will really get a laugh as well.
Your greeting sure looks pro with your signature ladybug.
Many thanks to you and Mike for this special greeting.
Very special.
What can I say?

@Barbara: I'm happy you had a good laugh ... it was actually 'payback'. <grin>
You'll have to speak to him next time you see him, about seeing himself as the world now does! :D
Laughter's good medicine - good for all of us!

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada

A new way to wish someone a birthday. What a unique and beautiful idea. I can see by Barbara's response that she loved it. You are so thoughtful Judy.

@Marion: Barb started it; I was just waiting for an opportunity. :D
Yesterday's clean bill of health from my surgeon was a reason to celebrate w/a Greek salad! xx
