Sweet celebration ~

Every once in a while you meet someone who is interesting and who has been interesting their entire life. That's an apt description of Melissa (Lissa) the birthday girl who just celebrated her 60th birthday. As a really fun feature of the birthday party there was a rotating slide show that took viewers through a rich life filled with dance recitals, award ceremonies, horseback riding, hiking, camping, exploring, building, renovating, and entertaining. Always surrounded by friends and family ~ and always smiling. Happy birthday, dear lady!
