September Cards

We were married on Labor Day 39 years ago.  This is my anniversary card for Bob.

"I'll love you Bob until the end

I am so very lucky

I married my best friend.

With lots of loving thoughts

Of everything we've done

To make our life together

Such a happy one.

For all that you are

And for all that you do

And for all that makes me

Go on loving you."

This stylish birthday card is for my lifelong friend Vicki.  We got together for lunch last month.  (She just retired too.)  I included a picture of us on the inside.

"Today is your birthday

So celebrate in style

Have fun creating memories

To look back on and smile."

 A former colleague, Susan celebrated a birthday.  She is a "No. 1" worker.

"Today for you come wishes most sincere

Of health and happiness

May there be countless joys ahead

For this coming birthday year."

 

 Two of my colleagues lost their husbands this month.  The sympathy cards are for

Becky

"The sun warms the empty sky

So many questions, why, why, why

The years ahead no longer clear

But time will pass and there will be a day

When the clouds will part, you'll see a way

To live, to laugh, no longer cry

Your loved one's warmth fills the sky.

With sympathy."

Bonnie

"Memories are always precious

They are memories which will stay

And even though the times goes by

They will never be taken away."

 

One of the people I admired most in my work place retires this moth.  Paul, the director of facilities, always found a way to help me and included me in his circle of confidants.

"As you retire look back and be

proud of all the work you have done.

Look forward to friends and pleasures

that await you.  Enjoy every day.  

Good luck."

Bob's birthday was Sunday.  He told me he'd never received a better card-and this one was made by me.

"The day we met I knew that you're meant for me

Many birthdays we have shared

But each is more special

As we get older, we are growing more and more in sync,

How great this is.

Have a wonderful birthday my darling."

 

My niece Kaity celebrates a birthday next week.  Kaity has gorgeous red hair and is a smart, fun-loving young lady.

"A very happy birthday to you

Enjoy it all day through

Hope it's stacked with lots of fun

With memories to cherish too."

Woody Hershel Williams, West Virginia's only living Medal of Honor Winner, celebrates his 92nd birthday Saturday.  When my Dad turned 90, Woody sent him a card (at my request).  My Dad and Woody were both Marines at Iwo Jima.  This card is for Woody.

"A very special birthday greeting

is sent especially for you

To let you know there is no one

As wonderful as you."
