It's your birthday Minnie...and so from all the folks on Gather who just love having you in their lives, a garden of irises for you!  May your day be filled with the color of a cobalt sky, the music of a rushing stream in Kashmir, and the love and laughter of your children.  Blessings!http://media-files.gather.com/images/d453/d501/d744/d224/d96/f3/full.jpg

 

                                      Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday 

                                      We love you.

                                      Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday

                                      May your dreams come true.

                                      When you blow out the candles,

                                       One light stays aglow,

                                       It's the lovelight in your eyes

                                       Where'eve you go.

A jewel of a birthday wish to Minnie! Flowers thrown at your feet would not be complete without our hugs.

Bob - what a sweet tribute to another person and I know those are your garden's Irises because I recognize your gorgeous house in the background - oh what a nice way to brighten up someone's day - Happy Birthday Minnie and may life always grace you with Irises this lovely. Salud.
Bob, this is beautiful! What a wonderful surprise for our dear friend.

Happy birthday, Minnie!

P.S. Fred Hose has also posted a birthday article for the birthday girl...and I've been holding off posting one until it's December 10 in the USA. Foolishly so...because in Minnie's and my own time zones, it is already the 10th of December. I will rectify my error of judgment shortly.
Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Dec 9, 2007, 7:31pm EST
I do not know Minnie... But, with the endorsement of such great people, I know I would like her... :o)

Happy Birthday!

Minnie will be so happy to see you all at her birthday party....pull up a chair...what do you mean there's snow on the lawn chairs? Oh yes, we did have some snow. Well, come on in...cocoa and hot cider is on the way.
Here is the link to my rambling birthday wishes for Minnie.

Happy Birthday, Minnie. A beautiful greeting and a beautiful set of flowers for you. How nice.
How could I have been here this long and have no idea who you're talking about?
Minakshi w. Dec 9, 2007, 10:18pm EST
Bob! I think I am going to end up crying today. Such beautiful gifts waiting for me here this morning. God's blessings, that is what you guys are to me. Honestly.
You know how much I have loved this garden of Irises....had them with me all these months!
Thank you...with a big warm teary smiley bear hug. Love you!
I am speechless..though I have the tendency to ramble..lol!
Magi and Fred too????? Good Lord. How am I ever going to thank you good people for so much love!
Vicky Duggins Dec 9, 2007, 11:44pm EST
Those are just beautiful irises, Bob!

I, too, have somehow missed out on Minnie, so I'm going to send her a connection request. Then next year, I can tell her Happy Birthday. Well, I can tell her this year, but it'll mean more next year.

Bob - did you see your x-ray in my images?
Nancy S. Dec 10, 2007, 12:14am EST
The Irises are gorgeous Bob. Happy birthday Minnie.
