Hart & Soul

Ginnie: Thank you, Jacqueline. I didn't think of it for today's post till the last minute...and then I couldn't resist it, especially since I don't wear dresses anymore. HA!

Ginnie: Thank you, Ray.

Ginnie: Thank you, dear Robin. You're a sweetheart!

Ginnie: Hartstikke bedankt, MLMA. We had so much fun in Amsterdam again, didn't we!

Ginnie: If I HAD to choose, Chris, the middle one. But you know me. I don't wear dresses anymore, not even to my wedding.

Ginnie: Thank you, Elsabe. And LOL. A little too buxom for me, I'm afraid, but I do like the red hat.

Ginnie: Thank you kindly, dear Lisl.

Ginnie: Thank you kindly, Nazzareno. Grazie.

Ginnie: Thank you, Mick!

Ginnie: You're too funny, LC! Thank you.

Ginnie: We had a lot of fun in Amsterdam on Friday, Philine, meeting up with blogger friends. It made us want to go back and visit Utrecht, where we have so many great memories from our early days! Astrid has all kinds of wonderful things planned for dinner tonight. She is such a sweetheart!

Ginnie: Oh yes, Vintage. How could I forget! We Gemini rule!

Ginnie: Thanks a million, Bill. I will!

Ginnie: Awww, and what a very sweet, special sentiment, Alan. Thank you. I don't think they are table lights. They were quite small.

Ginnie: Thank you, dear Anne. I LOVE birthdays.

Ginnie: Thanks, Marcie. It sure made me smile when I saw it...and even more when I decided to use it today for my birthday.

Ginnie: Thank you, Mary. I love birthdays so the day is special.

Ginnie: Thank you, Peter. And HA! Sheila is probably a "typical" woman, then!

Ginnie: Awww. Thanks, Frank!!! I take all the xxxx's I can get.

Ginnie: Thank you, Martin. I was tickled to death when I chose it for today.

Ginnie: Thanks, Chantal...and I will!

Ginnie: Thanks, Ingrid. You can see why it caught my eye.

Ginnie: Thank you, dear Laurette. Actually, we're staying home for a quiet evening since we already celebrated early a couple weeks ago (long story). Astrid is even cooking spareribs for me tonight....and we're gonna watch The Iron Lady on DVD.

Ginnie: Thanks a million, Sue. You can see why this caught my eye.

Ginnie: Thank you, kind sir!

Ginnie: Thank you kindly, Fred.

Ginnie: Ahhh, that's what they are. I knew those wire arms were for something, Louis. You just helped me figure it out. Thanks.

Ginnie: Thank you kindly, Antoine. Merci.

Ginnie: Thanks a million, Janet.

Ginnie: HA! After Astrid cooks spareribs for me and the dishes are done, we're going to the couch to watch The Iron Lady on DVD.

Ginnie: Thank you, kind sir. That would be delightful.

Ginnie: Actually, NO, John. Just window shopping while on our way from one place to another while in Amsterdam with blogger friends last Friday. Thanks.

Ginnie: Aren't they fun, Rob! Thank you.

Ginnie: Thank you, kind sir!

Ginnie: Thanks a million, Richard. Merci.

Ginnie: It was a great, quiet day, Rian. We celebrated in a big way almost a month ago (long story).

Ginnie: Thank you, dear Cherry. It was a nice, quiet day...just like the doctor ordered. We had celebrated a month earlier, after England, while Astrid was still on vaction. It workded for us!

Ginnie: HA! I learn more about you almost every day, Lisl.

Ginnie: I love unusual things, Graeme. HA!

Ginnie: Thank you, dear Oscar. Muchas Gracias.

Ginnie: Full of cheer and whimsy, Les. Thank you.

Ginnie: Oh yes, George. Exactly!

Ginnie: You're just extending my birthday another day, Ayush, so thank you.

Ginnie: Wouldn't that be fun, Peter!!! We would really like that! Thank you kindly.

Ginnie: Somewhere to go and something to do! We never run out of ideas, Elizabeth. Thank you.

Ginnie: Awwww. You are such a sweetheart, Elaine. THANK YOU. Truth be known, I am no longer a dress sort of person, but I can appreciate a good one when I see it.

Ginnie: Welcome back after your vacation, Doug! And thanks for the birthday greetings. I have never been a hat person and haven't worn a dress in I can't remember how long. But I sure can appreciate a good look when I see one. Thanks.

Ginnie: Thank you, Linda. I love whimsy like this, even if you wouldn't catch me dead in a dress or hat like any of these now. When I decided on this image for my birthday, I couldn't stop the giggles inside me. How telling, I thought. And yes, I have always loved my birthdays and haven't yet regretted a single one of them.

Ginnie: Thank you kindly, Barbro. This was so fun for me to see and then to share!

Ginnie: Don't you just love whimsy like this! Thanks, LCT.

Ginnie: Yes, Frida, I think so...jewelry holders! So fun. And yes, it was a fun, quiet day at home. We had celebrated big-time a couple weeks earlier (long story).

Ginnie: You are so good, Beverly, at getting to the nitty-gritty of other comments/replies! Thank you. It was a great, quiet day...just what the doctor ordered on a working day for Astrid. We had celebrated "bigger" a couple weeks earlier. Thank you.
