“Happy Birthday Darlene”
“Today is that big day for “DARLENE” to receive lots of “BIRTHDAY” wishes from all of her FAMILY and FRIENDS?”
There is nothing like good ole Uncle and Grandpa, Lee to get the horses all set up to take the Family children for a ride on a beautiful day… like TODAY!
“Looks like Uncle Lee is giving a few last-minute instructions to this horse – – just so she knows what kind of ride she is to give to the “Grandchild” and just to make sure that this horse knows what “LEE” is talking about…he is reaching into his hip pocket for a special sugar cube treat with the promise of more treats for giving a good safe and gentle ride to each child that will be sitting high in the saddle… today!”
“Today is a very special day… It is “Darlene’s BIRTHDAY” and I hear that “LEE” even baked a “CAKE” for DARLENE’s Birthday… as LEE gets up with the “chickens” just some of his “NAVY” training many years ago… bright and early and also being one of those “JACKS of all TRADES” looks like he can do… anything he puts his “mind” to doing how’s that for a terrific husband?
“Let me hear everyone start to sing at the same time… HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLENE” make that loud so that they can hear it on “BROADWAY” we may all be in their next MUSICAL?”

“Tomorrow I start singing… HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARLENE”
********My Lottery Winnings – for you! ********
Darlene… you are in “LUCK” – since I WON the LOTTERY … – and you are having a BIRTHDAY – – – what could I do… but share my WINNINGS with you! “How do you like this card?” – ‘Who” was the BIG WINNER… – I do not know… – but my WINNINGS gave me just enough to get this beautiful card and send it right … to you!
Just thought that I would also mention to you – when it comes to the LOTTERY… I allays… consider buying a ticket a “donation” – – – since I have not heard of anyone – that is in the last ten years or even more – – ever winning any size-able amount of money – I do not think there are any real winners??? Next time – that I think of a Birthday gift – I think that I will just go to a store and buy – – something – – that I can see – since I think the Lottery money must be sent to another Country – since America has no extra money???
“What do you think???” “Happy Birthday” “Darlene” and don’t forget to… – have the best day ever!”

“Little Miss Beebe – – missing and found”
Mary Ellen Aldrich “Can any of the other dogs track “Beebe” to see if she is injured and needs HELP – – NOW???” *** *******
Mary Quinn Crangle When Ryder got home from school, he and Owen were playing in the yard, looking for Bebee, and I couldn’t believe my eyes…Ryder was on his moms back porch step, sitting with his head down in his hands, then, he looked up and made a sign of the cross, and put his arms up in the air, and he did this one more time before he spotted me watching him from our yard, next door,,,he ran over and said, “I was praying for Bebee!” I thank you Sacred Heart School, for teaching my grandson how to pray on his own! Sure, we say prayers together at night and at meals, but not everyday. I hugged Ryder, kissed his head and told him he is my little angel. Owen will be going to SHS Kindergarten next year, if all goes well. Still missing Bebee, but seeing my little grandson pray helps ease my sorrow. In His Holy Name, Ame
Mary Quinn Crangle Melissa Crangle is on her way to get Bebee!!! She said someone from her second job at Gettimeiers said her friend picked her up from Old Jamestown Road, and took her home. Thank you whoever you are, for contacting my daughter about Bebee! I missed her so much last night,,,and my fb post might have helped find her, but a child’s prayer is what I believe did it. Praise God for He is truly an awesome God, “Who keeps his promises” And thanks to my fb friends for your thoughts and prayers as well…Second chances are rare for me, and I appreciate this one.

LOOK – – special gift under tree – – Miss Beebe….
” This is my special toy – – and I am not taking a chance of letting go – – do not want it to get accidentally …lost!”
“All is well – – that ends WELL!” D.V.

“ARE you the only ANIMAL around here – – that does not know what is going on?” “When the rest of us small ANIMALS – – are communicating – – – – do you just sleep and or close your ears – – are you not at least a little bit interested in what the rest of us are all doing??”
“I am asking NOW – and in a very nice way – – I will even HELP – YOU… dig – – if you will let me share in whatever – – we all are suppose to be doing!”
“WELL!” “Since you want to HELP – and share … It is “DARLENE’s” BIRTHDAY – – and all of us small ANIMALS are digging up some of their best hidden “prizes” some of our “treasures” that we were saving for a very important time or occasion – – and so – – “NOW is the TIME” – – to “FIND” the best we have… and wrap them up and put them by the door… for “DARLENE” to “FIND” for her BIRTHDAY!” “OKAY??”

“Did you hear every thing – – – that those old “DOGS” outside were talking about?” “Do you want to join in – – in getting some of your “old TREASURES” ready for “DARLENE” – so that we can have some FUN… at the PARTY, too?”

“Baby Beebe!” “Sending BEST BIRTHDAY WISHES to DARLENE”
********** “Best Wishes- from Baby Beebe!” **********
No… “Birthday” could be complete – without a very “Happy Birthday to Darlene” – – – this message is coming from one of your very favorite “Chihuahua’s” baby pups and sister to the smallest of our breed, – – you still have my baby sister, “little – Miss – Termite” – so a very big and merry ole “Happy Birthday” – – and many more…
I’m sitting on my new owner’s sofa – my new owner “Mary” is just so in – LOVE – – with me – that she has me all dressed up – just so everybody will notice me – that’s because I am so small – and when I am wearing something – – fancy – – everybody just has to stop and say – how terrific… I look and they are always – so surprised that – I am full grown – – just because… “I’m so little!”
I was just thinking… that everybody would really have something to talk about – – – if they saw my baby sister, “Termite” and me together – – since she is only half of my size – – – “Termite” is just a beautiful … small, little and most delicate – “tea-cup” size Chihuahua – – and the one and only special Chihuahua!
“Darlene” – – I’m sending you a great big hug and kiss – – from, me – your little “Beebe!
Also… all friends and relatives up here in the NORTH and colder part of MISSOURI – – are sending LOVE and BLESSINGS from our Almighty Yahweh – – to bless you – – since you LOVE and care for so many of my ANIMAL FRIENDS – – and… we want this to be the best of BIRTHDAYS ever – – just for YOU! D.V.
