  • Another Birthday

    Birthday dinner.

    I had a birthday on Wednesday! yes another one, if you can believe it. It was wonderful with the children and grandchildren around me. Sayeed and Shelley had the family over, and he cooked an AMAZING dinner of filet mignon and lobster tails, flown out from Main!
    A friend actually Sayeed’s partner with Wealth Management, sent a bottle of Crystal Champagne for me which we drank after the dinner. Here are some photos of the evening.

    Prior to the dinner, Saadi and I went to the Universe where three of my paintings were exhibited. She was so proud of me!! I was embarrassed I think.

    It felt good to have them displayed. They will be there for one more week, and then I will bring them home.

    I have never had such luscious and sweet lobster meet before! The potato casserole was made by Shelley, and it is to die for! The filet was just perfect! Yes, that’s my plate!!

    And here pouring some out for me! The actual birthday was on Wednesday, but everyone was so busy the whole week, so we decide to meet on Friday.

    It was the most beautiful birthday for me.

    Noah has left for college for the second semester. I already miss him so much. I hope he has a wonderful semester, and when he is done with it, he would have the whole year under his belt!  Love him so much. I asked him if he wanted me to move to Rolla and rent an apartment so I could be near him; he laughed. I didn’t think it was a funny question! You know I would go live there in a heart beat!!

  • Happy birthday! You look amazing and the meal looks yummy!

  • @fwren: Thank you.

  • That's a wonderful birthday meal. I love your paintings and your picture. I am missing my (33 year old) "baby" in advance. He's still in Rochester, NY. and gets to come home occasionally, but he's going to be going to Germany soon, and then possibly to France. I'm glad he's doing well in his job, but wish he were closer.

  • Happiest of birthdays to you! I love the last painting (although all 3 are amazing). I know you would do anything for your "Princes" and I'm also certain they know that as well!! The photo of you and Saadia together looks great - you can see where she gets her good looks!!

  • @ata_grandma: Thank you Gracia. Good luck to your "baby".

  • @murisopsis: Thanks Val.
    I am enjoying the alone time with me when I paint. I am hoping to send them to John Lenhard so he can display them in his studio. I am hoping!!

    Thanks for the compliment. Love and hugs.

  • @ZSA_MD: Love and hugs back at you! I'm sure John would love to put you in the Gallery at the Artist's Cave!

  • You look beautiful in your birthday pictures! Blessings and wishes to you for many happy birthdays to come. :)

  • Happy birthday Zakiah! It looks like you had a wonderful day with your family. And I can also say you are such a talented person. You are such a wonderful human being.

  • Belated Happy Birthday, Zakiah. Sorry I don't visit as much as I used to.

    We've got that "Dialogue:Racism" workshop set for March 4-5 in Vero Beach, if you're able to come.
