  3. You know what, Deena? I used to be a hairstylist, and I never would have guessed in a million years that you were wearing a wig from those photos. You look beautiful!

  8. Deena, how wonderful that it was warm enough to be outside for Rich's birthday, and your time with the boys! You look fantastic! A friend of mine used to say "If you look good, you feel good". I realize this may not be completely true, but maybe "If you look good, you feel a little better" might apply. Hoping you felt as good as you looked this weekend! Praying for you sweet Deena. Glad Spring is coming for you. Love, Pam

  17. Good Morning Deena,
    You look very beautiful in your wig and to see you outside is truly a wonderful blessing. I'm glad it was nice enough for you to be outside. The boys are just precious and I know you are one proud Grandma. I think it was so wonderful that it was nice on Rich's Birthday. I'm sure he had a wonderful day. We are to be getting more rain later this evening and going thru Friday morning. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.

    Love, Hugs, & Prayers,
    Karen H.

  23. Sweet Deena,

    O.k., this is what I said out loud when I saw that first picture,

    "Oh, my goodness, Lady, you look awesome!"

    What a beautiful color for you and the look on your face is pure peace and serenity!

    Wow!

    Those kidlets are pretty cute too.

    Hope the birthday celebration was all that you hoped for your husband.

  38. Enjoy your time off. And you look absolutely beautiful! We like the same American Idol contestants too. Michael Johns and Jason Castro are my favorites. I haven't known anyone else to like Jason so I am so happy to see him on your list. I hope you saw last night's show - he was awesome singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Have a great week Deena and feel well!
