April Cards

 

My friend Betty was my mentor since the 70s.  Betty asked her Kansas friend to make this fun apron and pot holders for me when I retired.  Betty and two of our other RD friends met for lunch on Good Friday when she presented this gift.  The friend card is a thank you for Betty.

"The company was a pleasure

The time we had a treasure

Thank you for the gift

You knew it would be

Just perfect for me".

 

Wilma retired from our HSC Kitchen many years ago.  She was a great cook and I've always missed her.  This birthday card is for her.

"You're always though a lot about

But especially today,

I wish you a world of happiness

on today your birthday!". 

Administrative Assistants Day is in April.  While Virginia filled that role at the Healthy Cafe, Tina, Lorrie and Stefanie in the Nutrition Services Department also helped manage a staff of 200 food service and nutrition employees.  These cards are for them.

"Here you are with a joyful heart

Working well and working hard

Helping gladly, quick and bold

Bringing joy to young and old." 

The card and book are for Allie, a gorgeous, sweet dietitian, and her husband, a respiratory therapist.  They are expecting their first child soon.

"To the lucky pair who now will share 

Their love with someone new.

The tiny baby I welcome you

And my best wishes to you." 

My friend Helen celebrated her 30th birthday just a few days after the birth of baby Claire. Helen is a dietitian and scrapbooker.  She makes beautiful quilts.  This card and book are for her and her husband Phil.

"May this very special day

Leave memories you will treasure.

May all your hopes and dreams come true

In every fullest measure."

 

Nancy was one of my best high school friends.  Her Mom, Gertie, was our girl scout leader.  Nancy and I were ornery and always had a lot of fun.  Her birthday is May 6th.

"A little taste of heaven

a little touch of grace,

Warm sunshine on your

shoulders, a breeze upon

your face, deep feelings

of contentment, a sense

that life is sweet - -

If all of these are yours

my friend. . . my wish

will be complete.

Happy Birthday"

I loved the label "Good Friends', cut from a piece of clothing.

  

We'll be gone for a few days to watch our oldest receive his PhD!  A few proud and happy occasion!
