Well, I'm 46 yrs old, I think I am 21...but most times I act like I'm 12. I am "short statured" and I love it 'cause most people underestimate me so it takes less to impress.
I am extremely blessed with having Four, (yep... count 'em 4), Generations of my family living in one house! Our home consistis of My Father, who lives in the downstairs flat with my Husband, my youngest Som and Me. My oldest son, his wife their children and his Mother-In-Law share the upstairs flat. I have also been blessed with a BIG house...LOL!
Outside of my husband and my children, my first love is shooting my bow. I got involved in archery a couple of years ago because I wanted to learn to bow hunt to get me out earlier in the season, now I prefer bow hunting to hunting with a gun. My second outdoors passion is fishing from my kayak, nothing like hooking into a good sized fish and going for a ride...who needs an evinrude when you have a Northern on your line!...LOL
Wow your good!!!

Every flower has a history and every flower symbolizes something. Often the history and symbols are confusing and contradictory but they are still fascinating. If your birthday is in the month of June, your flower is the rose. Here is the story and language of your flower.
The Linguistic Roots for the Name Rose
The Latin name for the rose, rosa, literally means red. Diana Wells suggests that saying that rose means red is like saying the heart is a muscle situated on the left side of the rib cage, it is an incomplete understanding of what the blossom symbolizes.
History of the Flower
Quite possibly the most popular flower in the history of the world, the rose has a multitude of legends and myths surrounding it. A flower of such prominence must be related to the gods of our world or at least one would think so when considering the wealth of otherworldly associations attached to the blossom. Was the smile of Amor the source of our first rose or did it fall from the hair of the goddess of dawn, Aurora?
The sweet scent and frowsy beauty of the blossom resulted in it being popular among the rulers of this world. The infamous Cleopatra had her pillows filled with rose petals. Romans used petals to decorate their feasts and even had canopies filled to shower petals upon the guests. Sometimes the Romans love of roses became too much and the shower of petals would actually smother guests.
The Symbolism of Roses
Jewish legends attributed the color of the rose to the first blood that darkened the earths soil. The Teutons believed the rose was a symbol of the underworld and called their battlefields rose gardens.
Just wanted to give you a reason to smile today!
The flower for the month of May is the lily of the valley. Here is the story and language of this flower.
Linguistic Roots for the Name Lily of the Valley
The lily of the valley heralds from northern Europe. As a result, it did not originally have a Latin or Greek name. The monks who named it had knowledge of botany and so chose a Latin name for it that had religious connotations. They named it lilium convallium (now convallaria majalis), lily of the valley. The naming of the plant referred not only to the flower having a tendency to grow in valleys but also to the Song of Solomon where we read the phrase, I am the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valley.
The official Latin name convallaria majalis means valley (convallaria) and the month of May (majalis), which probably refers to where and when it blooms.
History of the Flower
One of the colloquial names for the lily of the valley is Our Ladys Tears because legend claims that the flower sprung up from the Virgin Marys tears, which she shed at the foot of the cross. As a result, the flower became associated with Mary.
In ancient times, boys and girls would pick bouquets of lily of the valley because it was supposed to bring good fortune in love. Because of the timing of the plants blossom, it was often referred to as May Lily or May Bells.
Just thought you might like to get a flower today! If that made you smile, my mission was accomplished!
