Roses...

Roses make me smile.

Haley

Along with pink roses, kittens and God's abundance, ballerinas are certainly one of the most beautiful gifts our eyes can behold. ~ Amy Arnaz

My lovely dancers

The Nutcracker came and went but the magic lingers. Thank you girls.

From my dancers

I love each girl in my ballet company and thank them for the most beautiful bouquet of pink roses. Love, Miss Amy

Beautiful

Long skirts

"I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error…" ~Tasha Tudor

A wonderful read

Lesley & Shari both told me about this book and I'm so glad they did. What a wonderful read. ~Amy

My family is near

"I am thankful for a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.... I am thankful for the piles of laundry and ironing because it means my loved ones are nearby." ~Nancie J. Carmody

*Hi Julie Marie* Thank you for the info about my blog not coming thru your dashboard. I love typepad but sometimes it misbehaves. I will tell my handsome husband you sent him a birthday wish. I love this photo of him. And love you too! xoxo Amy

Posted by: Amy Arnaz | January 20, 2012 at 06:45 PM

*Thank you Estela* I am so glad you came back and reposted your comment. You are the second person today who told me my blog was misbehaving. Gosh, I wonder if I missed any other messages? We did have a good birthday celebration complete with a Cuban feast that lasted two days. Desi was very happy. All the best to you and thanks again! xoxo Amy

Happy Belated Birthday Desi!
And many more to the guy who beat out President Eisenhower in the TV ratings!!! Who else can make that claim? The answer is no one else.
Coming home from a trip to Hawaii last night, I saw a huge display of your famous TV Guide cover as part of their TV and radio exhibit-- it's pretty cool!!

Dear Amy, I'm sorry that I didn't read this when you posted it. Hope your Beloved had a wonderful Birthday. What a great age to be! 59 and holding.

Amy, it has been a while since I last visited your place. Am catching up.

May your life together be wonderful and may you enjoy life together for years to come,
