♪♫♪ Happy Birthday Eve ♫♪♫

Oh yum!!! Drool, when are you coming down to LA??? I'll wait with a fork in my hand!!!

Great YouTube, Eve. I love seeing old buildings and scenery and there was certainly plenty of both. The scenery was lovely.
Cheers
Anne

The Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie sounds wonderful. I may have to to try making it. (Thx for the recipe location)

Eve, thank you for the birthday wishes but didn't get the pie today.

Thanks, Eve, for the birthday wishes! My weekend-long celebration was lots of fun, but I'm still resting up from it! LOL

Thanks Eve. I am enjoying a nice birthday weekend.

Wow, I learned something new today about your town of Jacksonville. What a historic, fun place to live!
Thank you for the birthday song! I had a great day in my little town here in Utah and it was made better by greetings from you.

Hi Eve..
Be careful what you wish for.. LOL
Have a wonderful day.

Hi Eve, I got back on to view your pictures and the one of your dog. They really are good friends. We no longer have a dog because the neighbors have many dogs and cats that are left to their own devices. We have some chickens and one guinea (bird) and he is our pet. We have had perhaps 40 guineas in the past but the dogs have killed them. (as well as many of the chickens) but this one has out lasted the dogs interest. We call him George. Remember Lonesome George Gobel? He is a lonesome guinea. He pre-dates the chickens and has had to make the roosters know that it is he that is in charge. Now he gets along with the last remaining rooster.. or, that rooster "gets along" with him. He is very popular in the neighborhood (we live in a rural area) and I am ask about him when I see neighbors in town. I wonder what the natural life expectancy of a guinea would be. Here at our place he has lived far longer than expected. May your doggy live far longer than expected in good health.

Thanks, Eve, for the advice about gathering family history from my 95 year-old mother. I have very good family tree history (back to the 900's) but not the photo info. (My hubby's mother left hundreds of photos with no info written on them and I doubt if hubby knows.)
I sat down at the computer once when my mother was visiting and asked her questions about her childhood. I typed quietly as she answered. Unlike most 95 year-old's, she does not talk about her past very often. She's very much in the present! Maybe that's why she's 95 and still living independently.

Eve, thanks so much for your birthday wishes. To answer your question about Samburu, no, we did not stay near the river. As we drove into that area on our way to our hotel our guide told us that the place we were supposed to stay, the Samburu Serena near the banks of the Ewaso Nyiro, was completely washed out during the floods there a couple years ago. The river rose so quickly that the hotel guests & staff had to be airlifted out by helicopter!! That hotel has still not been rebuilt so we stayed at the Samburu Sopa Lodge instead. We found all the Serena & Sopa hotels we stayed at in both Kenya & Tanzania very satisfactory, & we were also very happy with our Adventures Abroad tour group. It was a GREAT trip.

Dear Eve.

Can't wait to see the 2011 float in the parade!

So many celebrations, so little time. Thank you for the the birthday greeting. All the best to you in the new year.

Dear Eve.
Very glad to read your very kind words and Christmas/New year greeting.
Many thanks for your very lovely feeling towards what happening in Egypt now.
Let us all prey to our God to protect us from these wild attacks against the Egyptian Christian.
On my behalf ask you and your friends in Sudoku to prey to God to protect all the Christian and give all of us the peace .
Thanks
Wagdy

Eve,
Your site is beautiful! I really makes me want to visit Jacksonville on a vacation. What great photos. How wonderful that Jewel sang about your town -- great photos with it! I'm a new member and have no photos yet.

A sad day, Eve. Sorry for your loss, but glad you have many pleasant memories with Tipper.

Eve,so sorry Tipper has gone. Hopefully Jasper and Houpette(who was also over 16 years) will be there to meet and play with.
It is always a difficult decision to take but with quality of life gone you did the right thing.

Oh, Eve. What a horrible, hard decision for you to have to make. I know you know this is the right thing that had to be done, but it still does not ease the pain.
My thoughts are with you along with a big cyber hug.

Thinking of you, Eve, in your sadness. Losing a pet is never easy, but you have more than 16 years of happy memories. ♥

I am so sorry to read about your beloved Tipper. Pets pay such an important part in our lives that they leave a big hole in your heart when they have to go. He lived to a good old age and with you, he must have led a very good life. Hugs to you.

Rest in Peace Tipper

Eve, my condolences to you, I know she was more than a companion for you xoxo

Eve, I was away from home all day yesterday & today & did not read your sad news about Tipper until tonight. I am so so sorry for your loss & for the very hard decision that you had to make to let her go. Even on this website it was so obvious to all how very much you loved her & what a great friend & companion she was to you. Now you have also shown beyond a doubt what a great friend you were to HER by helping her to die peacefully & cross over to a better life on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge. May she rest in peace, & may your memories of happier days together help to console you. XO

Hello Eve - I just read your comment on easy about where to go for a holiday. Naturally, you can't beat Australia for it's diversity and absolutely wonderful scenery.
Norway is also exceptionally beautiful. I went about this time of year and it was still quite cool and we didn't see much sun, but it was still a lovely place to visit. A wee bit expensive when I was there.
New Zealand is also a great place to visit with lovely scenery and the culture is great. Also the hot pools in Rotarura (not sure I spelt that right).
Of course, Europe and Rome is all about history and wonderful old buildings. I particularly loved Venice and Florence. The Vatican was naturally worth visiting, as was most well known places in Rome.
Good luck with your choosing as I'm sure you will select the right place.
Cheers,
Anne

for the birthday greetings, Eve! Especially for your yummy signature pie!
Lucky for me... I've gotten two!

Thankyou for your b'day wishes Eve. My Sudoku family make advancing in age even more special!

I posted this answer to your question about the photo, then thought you might not get back and see it....

Eve, we were pretty much at the highest level, looking down. You can just see a corner of a terrace in the lower left of the photo. The climb up was worth it, just for this view!

Hi Eve --- I'm Liz,Gizmo's Mum
and he sometimes lets me join him in his/our bed, he has me well trained
Have a great day

Eve! Hope your day is great and wishing you many blessings in the coming year!

Have a good one.

Happy Birthday Eve! Eat nothing but cake all day long.
May the most that you wish for, be the least that you get.
