Birthdays! Birthdays! Birthdays!

I really never realized how many family birthdays are in July.

One of my children told me that it would probably be better if I didn't 

get so "mushy" about all the people I write about.

So...

Today is my niece Brandy's birthday.

I love her.  I've always loved her and her marble-sized eyes.

She's an artist (see above).

She's fun.

She once threw a pair of "grandma sized" panties onto the stage at a Tom Jones concert.

This girl knows how to make the most of life. 

Just look:

Brandy in her hat.

Brandy all fixed up and fancy in her mature leather jacket.

Brandy the zombie.

Daddy's girl.

My Brandy!
