A Big Welcome MisteryMaster! Glad you could join us. Jen, you have another margarita handy for our esteemed guest?

Jack, Inferno and I decided that after you handed her a broom and me a pail and mop for cleanup duty that the least you could do is be the designated driver.

Oh my goodness, I almost missed Deedle Day! I've been up to my neck rearranging the house with new appliances and such, but I'm glad I took a couple of minutes to pop in. I hope all the goodies arent' gone yet!
Dee, hope you get strength just from the sheer number of people here at your party, and knowing that we all wish you the best. You have been in my prayers since I found out about your health problem. Take care and enjoy the party!

Happy Deedle's Day.. <img border="0" alt="[kiss]" title="" src="graemlins/kiss.gif" /> I love you Dee, I hope you are feeling better and will get well soon.

Hope you're having a great day, Dee. There's not much I can add to what has already been said so I found you a few butterflies.

Sorry I am late...have a good excuse..feeling a little under the weather and just got on GB...and the first thing I noticed was this post and started to read about your wonderful day and didn't want to miss it one more minute.

Everyone here has said the things that I think of you...your are a very courageous woman, and I admire you for being so strong...and I know there are days for you that can get very hard...and that is why we are here to find your strength again and we will always be here for you as you always been here for all of us.

Thanks Dee for your support and love of the adventure genre!

I'VE watched you now a full half-hour;
Self-poised upon that yellow flower
And, little Butterfly! indeed
I know not if you sleep or feed.
How motionless!--not frozen seas
More motionless! and then
What joy awaits you, when the breeze
Hath found you out among the trees,
And calls you forth again!

Hey Johnathan!
Nice to see that you could make it.

I couldnt resist this one for you Dee - I just have to keep coming back:

Flutterby Kisses

Dear Dee;
Over 60 years ago-when I could run and skip and jump- I was chasing butterflies in the pasture. They are so beautiful I thought, determined to have one of my very own.
My mother, standing by the gate, called to me and said, "Joyce, do you know what butterflies are?". I shook my head in puzzlement while keeping my eye on this beautiful white one sitting on a flowering Sage. My mother said, "Butterflies are Angels on vacation, and if everyone captured his own, God might not have enough to send to those in need".
At first, I didn't believe, being at that stage in life where I thought I knew everything. But a tiny flicker of doubt took seed and I let that butterfly go free. Later on in life, I realized how wise that woman, my mother, was.
Now, the sight of a butterfly brings me a warm feeling of love......sort of like Mother's Love. I feel an Angel near reminding me that we are not alone.
It gives me the courage to live this minute, draw this breath, and try to learn what ever lesson I have been given for this tiny space of eternity that I am allowed to share. Then miracle of miracles MY butterfly flutters by - in memory- and I find the courage for the next minute.
Dee, with all the butterflies sent your way this day, you "gotta" be feeling all that love and encouragement! Don't think about Monday, or next week, or next month! None of us truly knows what the day will bring. Live now, this moment, to the best of your abilities.....and let the butterflies take care of the rest.
With all my love, Joyce

Hi Inferno, thanks for the Frozen Strawberry Daquorii!! Yummy.

Dee, do you need a top up? Or do you fancy a dip in the pool....

What a great show here today! I haven't seen so many butterflies since, well, never!

What a great show. This is a truly touching topic. Hmm, I didn't mean to use an illiteration! Oh well.

Jonathan

A very Happy Deedles Day to you Dee! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and enjoy your special day.
