My 50th Birthday Photo Journal - July 19, 2014


The most fantastic birthday EVER thanks to my incredible family and friends... most especially my Big Birdie Sister Diana Birdie Birdface Theresa Maria Case - Kristin Michelle Kent - Barry Big Dawg Daddy Kent - Sealey Louise Rose Rascal Case - Paco Louise (lol!) Kent

Below is merely a sample of the photos of this incredible weekend full of surprises, laughter, tears of joy, amazing food and favourite beverages - I was/am truly spoiled.

Thank you all - I love you so much is hurts!!! 

I'm going to start with a collection of photos Diana included on a CD of us as little Birds and some others as we grow older (notice I didn't say grow up!) 

- it seems fitting to begin at or near the beginning. I'm the younger chubby one throughout and she's not hahaha!

Diana's first communion - in England - I'm 2 and she's 6.5 yrs old

With our Mummy "Rose" in front of the Governor General's residence likely 1967 when we move to Canada and settled in Ottawa
In our groovy sunglasses and reversible shorts our Mummy made on Parliament Hill - Canada Day 

We are wearing vinyl outfits made by Mummy. This photo was taken in our living room on Eastvale Drive. An 8 x 10 framed version hung on the living room wall for years and years. I loved to dress up... Birdie, not so much!

We'd hand-painted our Mummy's Austin Mini and were quite proud of the job - check the fashion statement and hairdos

Birdie playing Father Christmas - I was about to get a favorite doll

Afros, jean cut offs and halter tops were in - we were soooo cool! OK so Bird was and I did my best to copy her!
At Cap Enrage in NB with my firstborn Djaba Louise Antoinette Rose Case. She was the most amazing dog and bff who I still miss. We were companions for 17 yrs!
Rose Elsie Case nee Hughes aka Mummy - not sure when this was taken but likely in the early 1980s


Leather lovelies attending Handel's Messiah at the Rebecca Cohn in Halifax circa Xmas 2001


Here I am at the sound board of the mainstage of the Multifest - I was the Artistic Director. It was a happy time!


Now onto July 18th 2014 - Only MY SISTER WOULD DO THIS - I had no idea she was even coming (again for more see the album link above)
