Another birthday. Another hope that this one, at last, would bring me some wisdom. The night before I turned 86, a venerable age indeed, I crawled into bed hopeful. Surely it was time for wisdom to arrive, right???
The next morning I awoke without an iota more of that valuable stuff. Oh, well — perhaps it will happen next year.
Meanwhile, daughter Susan sent me the above greeting for my special day. I enjoyed it so much, I had to share it with you lucky folks.
Just visited loved ones in San Francisco who drove me to Nevada to visit daughter Susan and her Michael. Susan and I, as we often do, got into some mischief. Shall share some of that on my next post. Be patient…
As always, I was spoiled rotten by everyone and will be impossible for months to come.
Looks like grandson Remy keeps getting taller and taller and I keep getting shorter and shorter.
By the way, it is Susan’s birthday on August, 7th. If you can, wish HER a happy birthday.

What do you mean, you “will be impossible for months”? You have ALWAYS been impossible — or at the very least, improbable! We loved having you here…thanks so much for coming to visit us!
What a ball I had visiting everyone and, yes, I was spoiled for sure. It was great.
Yup. I guess I HAVE always been impossible. But that taught my children to be strong and to survive my insanity. Ahem!
Love, Maughm
…And you’ve always been SHORT too! : )
Short of what Susan? Brains or inches?
Short on inches, long on fun!
Thanks Susan. Fun is more important than inches for sure! Love ya too, Maughm
Happy Birthday, Muriel! My Dad’s birthday was July 27th…is that yours, too? Glad you had a good trip:)
No, mine is July 6th, but son Rafi’s is July 20th and daughter Susan’s is Aug. 7th. Busy birthday time for us….
Happy birthday. Tremendous. 👏 🎈 🎂
Yes, isn’t it fun? Hope YOU are doing okay. All the best, Muriel
A very happy birthday to you and to Susan. It’s great that you got together with your family.
It was a blast. Susan is as nutty as I am and we made some GORGEOUS videos which I plan to share on my next post. Lucky you!!!! Ha, ha.
Happy Birthday Muriel 🥰 I am very lucky that I have come into contact with you. I pray that I will be as active and keep my sense of humor if and when I reach your age. Positive energy just flows out from you. Your children and grandchildren are lucky that you are such an important and precious part of their lives. With love, Lakshmi
I am honoured by your comment Lakshmi: I am the one who is lucky to have the children I do who are loving and funny too. I also feel lucky to have contact with you. Many thanks. Muriel
Happy Belated Birthday to you and an early one to Susan! Wishing you both much more mischief (the next best thing if you can’t obtain wisdom)
You made me laugh again! Yup! Susan and I did get into mischief during my visit with her and Michael. (How he puts up with me is beyond me.) Keep posted to learn what we did together. Ha, ha….
My dear Muriel, belated happy birthday! 🥰🎂🎉🎁 It sure looked like you enjoyed your day.
And yes, your handsome Remy is getting taller! I don’t want to say you’re getting shorter. 😁
Thank you for the good wishes. Yes, Remy is REALLY tall now and I imagine he isn’t through growing yet. I already just reach his belly button! …. Ha, ha….
Muy feliz cumpleaños, Muriel!
Muchos gracious. (Did I spell that wrong???) Ha, ha. All the best. Muriel
Close enough! Muchas gracias 🙂 Have a great day, Muriel!
Gosh my Spanish is certainly rusty. Thanks for your toleration. Chuckle.
Awesome that you post regularly. Wishing you many more posts….
I tried to comment on and liked your post on Robots, but was unable to do so. Technology keeps changing and drives me crazy. Oh, well, cheers.
All pics are great, belated happy birthday. And you are a cheerful soul…
I guess I’m also very lucky to be surrounded by family and friends I love and enjoy. And laughter? Better than medicine! Cheers, Muriel
Yes, it’s good that you are so enthusiastic, and your kids have tons of fun movements…
True. I am grateful for each day and do manage to find something silly to laugh at. The patience and love of my children help a lot. Cheers, Muriel
