Three Friends

It's April 1st here and I know it's not over there yet, but I still wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and I hope your day is a beautiful day full of love and laughter. I love you very much my dear friend

Happy Birthday to You xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Have a lovely day tomorrow

OH THAT CAKE LOOKS GOOD!     I've had phone calls, texts, flowers and a visitor so far today.  Lil stopped by with a card.  She always delivers cards because she thinks stamps are too expensive.  Truth be told, gas costs a lot more than the stamps but it was nice to see her.  Two different florists came to my door, one big bouquet of flowers from Tom and Mary and an hour later a big bouquet from Pam and Emma.   My birthday is pretty easy to remember, once you know it, it's hard to forget.    You DO have April Fool's Day there I presume?  It's nothing that is commercialized or celebrated here, only a few tricks played here and there I suppose. 

No,  one could NOT forget your birth date Linda because It IS April Fools Day and yes we do... well not exactly celebrate it but some people do so called funny tricks and joke things ! Pass.
So nice that you got all those lovely bouquets of flowers.  ((((((((((((((((((((((((((Linda))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I have found the best way to keep flowers longer is to change the water often and each time you do, trim the bottom of the flower stem. I can keep flowers for nearly 2 weeks that way

Yes spot on Darien You should trim the ends of the flower stalks and change the water every couple of  days

That makes sense and I will do that!!

That's too bad.  I know a person has to take good care of the flowers and  you can't do that when you are away.
