Rhiana - Sep 22nd

Happy ... HAPPY birthday to Rhiana - who was nominated as our "next top model" Rhiana ... we missed your birthday because you were on vacation!! After reviewing your awesome photos from your holiday to Canada, I saw that you definitely had the BEST birthday ever! I found myself a tad envious because I saw some shots of my favourite places/buildings in Ottawa, Toronto, Kingston & Montreal and experienced a flash of homesickness.

I love the above photos because they illustrate Rhiana's jovial personality but what a photograph does not reflect is her inner character: she is kind, caring, thoughtful, honest, compassionate with endless amounts of energy. No party is complete without Rhiana's animated presence to liven up the atmosphere.

Ann - Sep 16th

A super DUPER birthday for my dear Ann - in all her many faces!! Ann is one of my closest friends at work - we have shared some REALLY ... hmm ... what is the word that I search for ... BIZARE moments!!! The above shots are totally voluntary with the exception of the top left one. Ann has no memory at all whatsoever of this moment and was unable to explain precisely what she was doing during this "Kodak moment" - nor could anybody else. Now you know I could get "creative" and share wild stories filled with endless BS ... but I won't out of respect :-) I love these diversified pics because they show the various sides of Ann - but not all sides have been digitally recorded ... YET.

Ann, I wish that I was there to celebrate your birthday (stupid me for straining my foot) , then you could have blamed me for any hangover-like symptoms. Perhaps my absence was a blessing in disguise and saved you from the day-after suffering that seems to follow any, if not ALL, our nights out.

Arnie - Sep 15th

A VERY ... VERY ... happy birthday to Arnie, my partner throughout all of life's adventures!! I am extremely late for this announcement - very sorry honeybee. As you can see, I had a difficult time picking just ONE picture so I made an ARNIE COLLAGE! I selected these pictures so that you could get a taste of the joyful, smiling Arnie with his never-ending zest for life, that I fell in love with all those years ago in Buenos Aires. Although, Arnie's official birthday was Sep 15th, we celebrated HUGELY while in French Polynesia during our vacation (update still to come). One of Arnie's (many) true passions in life is travelling and experiencing the beauty of nature's gifts, cultures & cuisines of various destinations and when he is exploring he is at his happiest ... as you can see in the photos above.
