But this week's prompt stumped me for a while, as I only have one functioning hand, and that's for operating the camera!
But I realized my stroke-affected hand can hold some things...
... I can slip in a ribbon and hold my birthday balloon!
You can also see the gorgeous bunting Johanna made - it will hang over the entrance to the dining room every day as I celebrate all year long :)
And here's some more birthday photos - I had a wonderful day and thank you for all your birthday wishes!!!
Coffee and cake with Sue, who spoilt me rotten
Family dinner - Sam (18), Nick (hubby), Jon (brother), Esther (16), Dad, me
Our gorgeous kids
My handsome baby bro
So glad you had a wonderful birthday
ReplyDeleteI did! And I'll post more pics in the coming days - there was lots to celebrate :D
DeleteHappy Birthday! Great to see you holding your long-lasting balloon.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful day! I only had one hand on my 50th birthday too as I shut my right hand in the truck door on the ferry on the way out for dinner... the door actually latched with my fingers on the inside of the truck on me on the outside! You all look wonderful... your gardens are so much further along than ours!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I think your hand picture is marvelous.
ReplyDeleteLOVE that photo of your hand holding the balloon ribbon. I think it speaks volumes about your outlook while dealing with so many challenges. Thanks for sharing your family pics too - what a beautiful bunch!
