Celebrating 70
Monday was Husband
Walter’s birthday, the big Seven-0, in fact.
We started celebrating
on the Saturday before the big day with a meal at a favorite restaurant and a
visit to a local establishment with lush and colorful plants for sale. Hubby
loves hibiscus and picked out two that were covered in red blooms and had lots
of buds ready to open.

hibiscus blooms from this date four years ago
Their selection of
hibiscus was far superior to what was available at the big box stores in our
area. And this family-owned operation doesn’t let plants dry out and languish
unhappily.
We continued the
birthday treats through his actual birthday with more eating out, a shopping
excursion and savoring treats, cards, calls and birthday wishes from kids, grands,
friends and family.
I started a birthday
post but failed to press on when stymied by slow Internet woes. Hubby
persevered, however, and kept to his schedule of publishing every Tuesday on
his travel blog with his post here.
I am so blessed to
share life with this special guy.
Happy Birthday to that handsome fellow you share your life with.
ReplyDeleteAwww, what a sweet post! You are blessed indeed. Happy belated birthday to Walter! Sounds like our kind of celebrating. The hibiscus is really beautiful and such a deep red. My hubby will be 64 next Tuesday, so we've been singing that Beatles song "When I'm 64" all this week. I even put it as a ringtone on his phone.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday no. 70 to your dear hubby.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Walter. You are a wonderful husband so I know you are a wonderful person.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, I like this picture so much, he reminds me of my hubby. you are both blessed to have each other, just like we are. i am assuming since this posted the rain did not bother you over the past few days
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Walter! I love hibiscus, too :)
