Happy Birthday Ponsawan

Tuesday, June 10th. is Ponsawans' birthday. I won't tell you how old she will be because as most of you know already she is very young at heart. I have a couple of plans worked out for her to celebrate her day one involves being outside...if the weather doesn't cooperate we will go to plan B. and still get to plan A another day. I hope all who reads this will leave birthday messages for her... she enjoys reading all your comments. If you have a favorite memory pass it along...it will keep that "old" brain of hers active remembering right along with you.

Fondly,
Ardis

P.S. Ada is having a very restful day!

Ponsawan,

Welcome Home!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Mucho Love and Hugs on your special day. Share one with Ada and Ardis for me please.

It'll probably be the weekend before I can get by to get my Ada fix but I'll be by as soon as I can.

Birthday wishes to a wonderful friend!

Hoping the year ahead is filled with smiles, bright sunny days and magical nights. Lots of time at your art table and mountains of blueberry cheese cake would be good too.

Big hugs,
Scott

Happy Birthday Ponsawan!
I'm so happy you were able to go to Thailand and meet up with old friends. I'm sure it was a bit of a rejuvenation. How lucky you all are to have Ardis in your lives.
May today and every day be filled with friends and joy and progress!

พรอันใดในหล้าว่าประเสริฐ์
สวรรค์ส่งให้บรรเจิดในโลกหล้า
เกิดเป็นพรสวรรค์สรรสร้างมา
ทั้งเข้มแข็งทั้งแกร่งกล้าและงดงาม

ขอสวรรค์ปกปักรักษ์พรสวรรค์
ขอจงดลบันดาลให้แข้มแข็ง
ขอให้พรให้กำลังใจให้แข็งแรง
ให้ 'ศิลาพิสุทธิ์' แกร่งด้วยแรงใจ

Wish you a happy birthday..... :)

Favorite quote from Ponsawani

When Ada reached 2 years of age, Ponsawan shared with me: I am enjoying Ada more than ever. Ada is in her terrific twos! It is so much fun to watch her grow and discover! I said: terrific? and Ponsawan said something like this: "Yes, this is such a fun age filled with curiosity, adventure, imagination, magic..It is sad that people called it the 'terrible' twos. I think they are terrific!!" Some things do not change...you still think outside the box today with positivism. An since then, I always use the "terrific twos" phrase everytime I see a two year old!!!! Love, Frances

Happy Birthday P'Jim+
We will see you soon. I only made it half way to Indy on the weekend. We reached Seymour exit and were forced to get out as they shut down I-65 from Seymour to Greenwood due to flood. We stuck in the traffic for 2 1/2 hours and had to U-Turn back to Louisville. Eliana slept the whole time...
I promise I'll bring her back to visit you.
PS. Eliana has 7 teeth now.
Love,
R-Noy & Eliana Isaya Kelly

Dearest Ponsawan,

How was you nap with Ada? You both look so peaceful. I love your new pink silk cover. You were so clever to bring it from Thailand for Ada this summer.

Much Love,
