Happy Birthday Jeanette!


July 20, 2010

Today is my great friend and next door door neighbor, Jeanette's, birthday.  Lucky her, she is celebrating it at the beach in California instead of sweating it out here in hot AZ.

Me & J in Flagstaff last summer.



Tuck (J's husband), Lori Braun, Jeanette & Cathy Massimi.

Little did I know when we moved in five years ago (almost exactly five years!!), that we would have the best next door neighbors ever.  Every member of the Bettin family is awesome.  But since it is Jeanette's special day, let me tell you about her.

She is very artistic and paints amazing art...I still am hoping she'll sell me her poppy painting, it's my favorite.  (Hint).
She is athletic and has inspired even old lazy me to go on an occasional walk.
She has the best porch parties on the block...not hard since they have such a great porch!
And best of all, she is a kind, thoughtful, generous, caring, dog-loving, fun, and gracious friend.

Oh, and she's an excellent hula-hooper...
She won the contest at ACC last fall.  

Happy Birthday J!!

Karen
