| Surprise Celebration for Miss Brenda during her production class at the studio Happy 50th QUEEN "B"(sobad!) |
 |
| Production lesson... photo opp... before birthday cake! |

| Balloons card and party stuff! I was at the studio doing bulletin board updates on Tuesday and thought it might be fun to pull off a bit of a Birthday Surprise for Miss Brenda... the Queen "B" of BSOBAD! She is turning 50 this sunday... so I knew she wouldn't be expecting a surprise party there ... or today either! Her production class is the perfect time to catch many people in the studio at once... and it went over very well! SHE was SURPRISED! What I didn't know was that today was the 13th year anniversary of her mom's passing. Brenda called me to join her for lunch today. We hadn't been for a lunch together in a long time, so it was coincidental that this all worked out today! So the surprise went one step further. Take from every moment it's unique meaning and you will be surprised by joy that fills you. -Anna Trimiew |

| Beau at the table today, He enjoys pulling himself up and banging on the table! |

| Mariah pulling Beau up to look at the camera... she has a firm grip on his one eye! This morning Jana phoned me to see if she could bring the kids by for a visit. I was delighted because in Jana's busy day to day life she very seldom has time for a coffee and visit! I enjoyed seeing them all as I always do. Mariah was enthusiastic about showing me her dance moves... she was so cute doing her PLIES... or PEELAYS as she was calling them!!! She still had her jammees on... but Beau was dressed in big boy clothes today and is starting to look so much older now! Even though I see him lots each week... he continues to change daily! So my rather unplanned day... came off with many surprises and it was a fun celebration kind of day! If you have something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for, every day becomes a celebration. -Anna Trimiew I have had many thoughts about my blog lately... so many themes... but so little time! I keep thinking of things I want to share in my daily blog, but will save those for another day and another blog! I spent the last couple of days gathering pictures for a couple big collages for Brenda's surprise 50th celebration today. I had them hanging on the stand with her cake and balloons... the kids enjoyed looking at them as much as Brenda... Some were from years gone by... so many memories! When I taught more at BSOBAD I did so much with Brenda, so it was a nice trip down memory lane for me as well! I created a BIG HUGE CARD... so all the kids could sign it!... and here is the poem I had inside! HaPpY TaPpY 50th BRENDA! FIFTY is FABULOUS and you wear it well... You just look fantastic like a QUEEN or a BELLE! You have hit many milestones, up until now, But this one is special... oh yes... and how! You've always had fashion and also such style, FIFTY'S and "F" word with FLAIR for a mile! Wishes are right from our hearts and our feet... We all wish you well and it's right on the beat. We love the things that make you who you are... To us you will always be our favorite STAR! Like royalty... you are like our sweet QUEEN "B"! You just fit that title... oh yes... to a "T"! You're truly a role model we've grown to adore, We all just love you, so need I say more... Just party on and keep strutting your stuff, Have a sweet latte, complete with the fluff! Here's to you... so just celebrate, Because in our world... YOU are always just GREAT! |

ReplyDeleteYou sure know how to make others shine with happiness. So thoughtful - so kind. No wonder your life is `dotted` with so many friends and warm family. That you journal and share your joy in life`s important moments small and big - is a credit to who you are and tribute to your parents. Good stuff. Again!
