My 69th Birthday on October 27th and a Heartfelt Thank you!!!

Hello dear friends and fellow bloggers! A very warm welcome to you all! Thank you so much for taking time to come and visit me here!

My birthday is on Monday, October 27th! I am 69 today! This is a special post to celebrate my birthday, and to thank you all so very much for all your visits and comments, love and support. I want you all to know how much I appreciate you!

I hope you will all enjoy this birthday party celebration with me! I am sharing many fun images and videos which I hope you will all enjoy! Again, thank you all so much for your love and support! 

This post, as well as ordering in for my supper, is how I have chosen to celebrate 🥳 my birthday this year. Vegetarian pizza. 

Here are today's picks, which I hope will brighten your day in some way!


Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.



I have selective hearing. I'm sorry you weren't selected today. Tomorrow isn't looking good either.  :)


Sending love to everyone who's doing their best to heal from things they don't discuss.


Get busy doing things you love, and being with people you love, and your destiny will find you.


Make space for new growth.


When you're tempted to dig up past resentments...remember how much your peace is worth and let them stay dead and buried.
Princess Sassy Pants & Co.


Orange color meaning...evoke its optimism and adventure!


Every thought we think is creating our future. - Louise Hay


Good morning. Have a great day!
Inspire Positive Soul Sensations


May the purr be with you.  :)



Read nature; nature is a friend to truth. - Edward Young
                                     Trvst


If one door closes and another opens, your house is probably haunted.  :)

                              Scoop Whoop


When you wake up and realize it's still not Friday.  :)



I need a job that isn't too "jobby" where I can do work that's not too "worky".  :)


To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone. - Reba McEntire


Smudgy is thrilled beyond words that you woke him up to tell him that you've decided to name him Smudgy. :)


Something's up. The farmer just unfriended me on Facebook.  :)


Arrested: I scratched a leather armchair  :)


Sometimes I like to be alone and do absolutely nothing. I'm not anti-social. I'm just pro-me.  :)
Karen Salmansohn


Everybody has that one friend who loses their mind over all things pumpkin.  :)


Happy Halloween.  :)


'Tis the season for cozy sweaters and fuzzy scarves.


At this point I'm convinced some people were put on the planet just to test my anger management skill.  :)


Wishing you happiness and smiles on your birthday! :)


The following photos are ones I took this month on my walks here in Montreal. You can click on each image to see a larger view. Since Halloween is fast approaching, I was fortunate to find some creative Halloween displays that I wanted to share with you all!

This first one was taken outside of a barber shop! You can actually see the blue and red stripes beneath this display, typical of a barber shop logo.







This last photo is of a Halloween display outside of a small restaurant. I thought it was cute.

The following video is a Just for Laughs Gag (Juste pour Rire in French) Enjoy!  :)

  9. And that was me, last evening, in my Master 🛏️ bedroom with mobile phones shut, no one at home, just me and the nature, and I felt absolute peace!

  10. Happy Birthday Linda! Your blog is such a pleasant place to visit - a reflection of your lovely soul.

    ReplyDelete
  11. And yes, selective hearing is good as some people are put on this planet to test my anger management skills which is so true. I love all the lovely quotes and cute, beautiful 🖼️ pictures which you shared.

  12. Last but not least, Linda, enjoy, God bless and count your blessings 🙏💕 have a great 69!

  13. Happy Birthday Linda! I wish you a very happy 69th and many many more happy and healthy years to come! Oh, a vegetarian pizza sounds very delicious for a birthday celebration. I hope you enjoyed your pizza! The quotes you shared today have inspired me and a few made me laugh. I have a story about the With Doctor song. An aunt of mine (when she was a teenager) bought the record. When her dad (my granddad) found out, he made her go to the shop to return the record! Grandad was strict and only allowed classical music. So you could say that Elvis was also banned. LOL!

  25. Oh, a very happy, happy Birthday, dear friend Linda! To a wonderful new year in your life! Pizza sure is a good way to start!
    I had a mouse once, she was so clever and told me stories, I sure miss her!
    That was because I wanted a cat but my Mom hated cats. I got a dog, oh, well...
    Wise, very wise words and oh, do I love the Good-Morning-man!
    And the purr - LLAP! ;-)
    I´m with the cow...
    What a cute booh! I´d run, too! Towards a great new year in your life, Linda, warm hugs and much love from the City of Henry the Lion!

  42. Happy Birthday, Linda. Good memes, some do make me smile, others make me think. Your photos are interesting to me, I've only seen one house down here so far with decorations. Just for laughs is not bad, and the song Witch Doctor I remember well. Julie Andrews, always enjoyed her voice.

  53. Happy birthday, dear Linda!

    As I told you at Shady's Place, you are still young, a "spring chicken" compared to old Shady. :)

    I wholeheartedly agree with that first meme. Until you have loved an animal, you have never fully experienced what it feels like to be alive. Another one that resonated was, to paraphrase, keeping busy, especially in service to others. By focusing outward and helping other people, particularly those in need, instead of inward, wallowing in misery, you often find, to your surprise, that destiny comes calling, turns it all around for you, brightens your mood and puts pep in your step. I had to laugh at the kitty moaning that he wants a job that's not too jobby and work that's not too worky. Another funny one is the cat being booked at police headquarters charged with aggravated furniture scratching.

    I love the set of pictures you took showing Halloween decorations you spotted on your walks around Montreal. Like you, I am especially drawn to modest, tasteful displays more so than gory ones. (I must be getting old! :) I'm not sure I bought in to that J4L gag. If one of those citizens had fallen to the pavement and been injured as they were being whisked away by the fake coppers, it could result in a lawsuit. Makes me suspect that the prankees were paid actors. I well remember David Seville and The Chipmunks. I had that record in my younger years. How about Dick Van Dyke? Let's cheer him on as he approached the 100 year mark in mid December of this year. That should help you feel younger today. :)

    Once again, happy 69 to you, dear friend Linda. Enjoy your veggie pizza. Wish I were there to have a slice with you. I am the only one in my family who ever orders pizza without meat. Come visit me at Shady's Place this Wednesday when I will present Pt. 2 of Shadyween 2025!

  58. Happy Birthday Linda. Pizza sounds good. I am a vegetarian and have a dairy intolerance so always have vegan pizzas :-D Tasty :-D

    I love the first one, "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." So very true. And great cats and Hallowe'en themes and love your Hallowe'en photos :-D

  66. Happy Birthday Linda! And what a great post to celebrate your 69th! As you know, I always love those Princess Sassy Pants quotes. I love the Reba quote too. I used to watch her all the time when she had her "Reba" show. The sloth quote sounds about right. We all need alone time, don't we? And the quote, Everybody has that one friend who loses their mind over all things pumpkin. This season of pumpkins is so delightful. And lastly, I read one time that ORANGE was the happiest color. I believe that is true! Wishing you a day sprinkled with joy and a few surprises.
