 HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET 
DEIDRA.....
Today, 1/10/12, is her 10th birthday.

We love you so much, Deeds, and you are such a blessing to all of us.

I had fun having lunch with you and letting you pick out your 3 J. Beber shirts....:))



HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!!!







This post was in draft form since Thanksgiving...I forgot it so decided to do it today. My drafts get buried sometimes as a lot of times, I have drafts of posts for 2 weeks or more. Anyone else do that?
PLEZZZZZZZZ forgive me for throwing a THANKSGIVING post in here,
right smack dab in the middle of the CHRISTMAS season (I KNOW...NOW Christmas is long gone, too.)     SHEEZE...!!

her sweet daddy, DAVID KEITH.....

LOOK OUT, HOLLYWOOD.....HERE SHE COMES !!
 and, HERE she is, in that adorable gray suit, starring in a school UFL
ONE ACT PLAY.
May I just say here....
A STAR IS BORN.
"You did an amazing job, Andrea...and you were so stinkin' cute in the play.
I loved every single minute of it.
and I love every single bit of YOU."

SPEAKING of HOLLYWOOD...
 ...a movie made in 2007, but I've just seen it........ and, let me tell ya,
if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.
I laughed in some places but mostly, I cried my eyes out.
Such a sweet movie....and KATHY BATES is in it, too, and she is
a very favorite of mine. (remember her in FRIED GREEN TOMATOES...AWESOME.)

Some evening, rent P.S. I LOVE YOU.....
watch it with your hubby and be  XTRA  nice to him winkwink
and give him an  XTRA  big hug.

Joining in on the fun at
WATERY WEDNESDAY
OUTDOOR WEDNESDAY
REDNESDAY
GOOD LIFE WEDNESDAY
O, and last night, I watched a 2000 movie....
....with MINNIE DRIVER
A really sweet love story.....
and it didn't hurt a thing that my ALL TIME, FAVORITE  ITALIAN
sang the title song.......


♫♫♪ RETURN TO ME.....♪♪♫
by Dean Martin

*oh my gosh...he was SOOO swoon worthy....
I was totally and forever in love with Mr. Martin.

If you haven't seen the movie,
and LOVE love stories, this one is such a winner.

I saw "Return To Me" years ago on the recommendation of a friend, and I absolutely LOVED it. It is still one of my favorite love stories. The beginning was so sad, I was in tears. But then, the middle just got funnier and funnier. I love Bonnie Hunt, and Jim Belushi was so funny in that movie. I think that was one of the last things Carrol O'Connor did before he died, too.

I'm glad you reminded me of this movie, as we have it on DVD. :) Have a great week!

I cried SO much when I watched "P.S. I Love You"! I don't think I can watch it again. It was good, though!

Mid-Atlantic Martha said...

How fun! Love the Thanksgiving menu and your grandgirl is adorable....I KNOW you're a proud g'ma!

Hootin Anni said...

Ohhhhhhhhhh, do I ever love the name Andrea Keith [in fact, if our son would've been born a girl...his name would not be Erik, but Andrea] I think it's awesome that she is named after her father, David.

I love your Bits and Pieces! You are a great grandma sharing your love with us. Sounds like your holiday meal was delish....as it should be. I have P.S. I Love You! Great movie....sniff, sniff. And just in the past year, I believe, I've seen the one with Minnie Driver. Did you know she is also a singer?! Yes she is and I love her voice. Have a Great Day!

It's always a delight to see what you and your granddaughters are up to!

HESTER’S LETTER

Hester’s letter, scarlet “A,”
Gave the gossips much to say,
But their rudeness she forbore,
For she knew she was no whore.

We can put anything in our blogs, which we want to, my Dear. And you know that already. :-)

Beautiful "Grands"! Be so happy your family lets you share pics of them....

You are one sweet grandma. Your grandaughter is quite lovely. I really like your choice of Dean Martin for your favorite singer, being Italian myself I like all the singers you are Italian. Your thanksgiving menu was one to die for. Have a blessed day. Madeline

Patti said...

Good morning BJ,

The Thanksgiving dinner sounded scrumptious ~ but I don't think I'd care for the marshmallowed sweet potatoes.. ;-)

You are so blessed to have so many beautiful grandchildren. I hope I"m a grandma some day in the future.

Thanks for stopping by. I just posted my cupcake story. We didn't find any tea!

Jen said...

I saw both these movies and loved them both!

The pink cake is off the chain pretty BJ. Your girls are darling and I love the nickname Deeds. I am not organized enough to have drafts that far ahead maybe I can aspire to be like you one day. hugs♥Olive

~Lavender Dreamer~ said...

I love these fun movies! I'll look for them! Enjoy your day, sweet friend! ♥

Vee said...

You can post whatever you want whenever you want. All those posts just sitting in the bank? Oh my! How sweeeet that must be! No, I sometimes have one waiting, but even that is rare.

Thanks for the movie recommendations. I've not see nor heard of these before. I really like Kathy Bates, too.

Sue said...

It must be so fun for your g'girls to be the same age...it would make those family gatherings something to really look forward to. We know how 14-year-olds sometimes would rather hang out with their friends, and your girls have built in friends!

I started eating healthy on Sunday...so your menu just about did me in. Yum!

Tammy@Beatrice Banks said...

Happy Birthday to Deidra! 10 is such a fun age. You have some beautiful granddaughters.
Thanks for the movie suggestions! I love a good love story.

Mimi said...

Beautiful, beautiful girls!! Boys are quite handsome, too. Thanks for the movie tips. Don't worry, you're not behind; I'm still posting about Christmas, too. And I love the skillet Mrs. Claus brought to Mr. Sweet ~ wish I had some of that cornbread now!!

Kathleen Grace said...

You have some of the prettiest grands around BJ, a big happy birthday to Deeds. A bit late but what's being late between friends;>) ?

LV said...

Loved taking a journey through your wonderful celebrations the past few weeks. I enjoyed seeing all o the, except Dean Marin was my man. He just never knew it. I have many of his albums.

Love seeing the grandgirls and they are so pretty and precious. My youngest one is 12 and the last one till a great. I look at the old pics of all them and it's so bittersweet. I love the people they've become and cherish the memories of when they were little. I know that's just how you feel. That cake looks mighty good!

Happy Birthday to Deidra from another Deidres(Deidra) mom! My Dee's b-day is almost here, too.

The pink cake looks so good.
