Happy birthday to you!

Good morning dear friends,

Here we are again, a wonderful weekend before us ... hope that you have all had a great week.

We have another birthday in the family and this time, the 6th of June was my dear husbands special day.

Unfortunately though we have both come down with colds.
We had to celebrate the birthday, so it was a lovely lunch sitting out in the sunshine at Euro,  but as so often when you have a cold,  you can not really taste the food much. It was one of those beautiful clear blue sky days when you are happy to be enjoying the day and this is the view we looked out on.


 That night we were in bed by 7.30 as the flu does make you feel tired and worn out.
It is so true, that one hour of sleep before midnight is worth two hours of sleep after midnight.
The next day we both felt a lot better.
Today we are going to do a final push to finish the decorating in the lounge -  I can't wait to get things sorted back into the room.

Hope to catch up with you all and your lovely blogs soon.
Wishing you all a happy weekend
hugs
Carolyn

  3. Carolyn,
    I saw your pink roses on my blog, and had to come over and take a peek. They are so pretty. So sorry you both were sick for husband's birthday, but it sounds like you still had a nice time. The view is just lovely.

    Have fun decorating your lounge, and get some rest this weekend. Those flus are hard on the body.

    Love,
    ~Sheri

  9. Happy belated birthday to your husband! It's not pleasant when you can't fully enjoy the celebration outing (meal and scenery). The location and weather looks wonderful from your photos. Hope you're feeling much better and have time to rest as well as decorate. Happy weekend, dear blog friend!

  12. Oh my dear Carolyn,

    I have another blogger friend who has come down with the flu, and she lives in a very HOT part of the country; it is has to be awful to not feel well when all you want to do is go OUT and celebrate under the blue skies!

    A most happy birthday to your husband, and a cozy weekend of joy for both of you, even if you're sniffling! Thank you dear heart for coming to visit. Anita

    So sorry to hear about your bouts with the flu.
    Can't wait to see the results of your lounge. That has taken forever it looks like. We have been renovating since early November and I am looking forward to July when we go back to normal routine....
    Hugs and wishing you well!
