Thank you for the birthday wishes and glad you like the book!

Altered art? Not sure what you mean (me or the photo?) or if that’s a good or bad thing!

I like Cher! She is an altered work of art herself though!

I love those pictures of your family! You need to do a little altered art with that B&W photo. You look like Cher.

I also love the book. Happy Days indeed! Happy Belated Birthday.

Anna – I think my boys are very handsome too – but then I would wouldn’t I? I think they take after me!!!!! Ha!

I adore that fishing photo too. I’ve had it enlarged and framed. There is something about my youngest’s little bony shoulder blades that I find so cute! And Number One son was being the expert and showing little brother how it was all done….

DM – you are so kind! It must be the mirror in the attic a la Dorian Gray! After yet another birthday, I certainly feel old enough! I am now going to start counting backwards and getting younger each birthday, I think….

You don’t look old enough to have children their age, what’s your secret?

Your boys are very handsome.

I really love that fishing picture! It’s such a perfect image of boyhood. Where does it go? The time goes by so fast.

Thanks, Colin, you are not wrong! When did my little boys get to be over 6 feet tall? And need to shave? It’s all wrong somehow… :-)

Wonderful pictures, they just grow up so fast don’t they? i did a post on one of Santa’sblogs about Christmas Past and found a photo of my daughter sat on Santa’s knee when she was 3, now she’s almost 15….the years just melt away :)

I love the book cover, it is so cheerful and bright and looks absolutely amazing.

Thank you all for your kind comments…

They are nice photos and I’m pleased I finally managed to pin the boys down to take some! Usually it’s just me taking photos of them…

Next time my photographer friend visits and if I can get both the boys home again together, I’m hoping for some ‘proper’ shots but then I’ve been trying to get that to happen for months!

I like this book, it’s a very ‘busy’ paper but it’s very sumptuous somehow!

Great photo you captured of you and your “boys.” The spontaneous moments are usually the ones that capture the most emotion. :)

Cute pictures and I’m glad you are enjoying their visit.

Nice book too. I can imagine it was difficult finding a match for that front cover.

Also, thanks for your comments on my story excerpts. It helps me feel like maybe I’m doing something right with my silly writings.
