2009-05-09 me, myself and I

I'm not sure which one, or if any of them really look like me!

It is my birthday today!
I was born in a house at Broadway and Heather Street, in Vancouver, B.C. Canada.

Some of my dear Flickr friends know my age, but not many... so here goes.

The year was 1923. I am 86 years young!

I am truly blessed with three fine sons and their families. I have been given many talents.

I am amazed that two months ago I discovered I could draw people.. With practice (lots of it) they are getting better... and I am enjoying a full life..

You, my dear Flickr friends, add to my joy and happiness. With love. Norma.

Happy Birthday to you Norma and thanks for the birthday gift you gave all of us by posting your drawings. You do have a gift for drawing and photography and are developing them so well.

You could win a lot of bets by having folks guess your age - I would have guessed at least 15 fewer years.

And Happy Mother's Day for tomorrow.

Happy Birthday, dear Norma. What a delight to see you challenge yourself to draw portraits and, in a very short time, you have created amazing sketches! I love the above three self portraits. Each one captures a part of you....

Belated happy birthday to you, Nonie (I like this version of your name!)!!!
My godmother was born (in Germany) on 1923-05-15 - only a few days away from you.
May you enjoy many more years of a creative and fulfilled life!!! God bless you!!!
(Me, too, I think the top one looks most like your icon.)

Happy birthday, Norma! (I like Nonie best, too! although there was a very famous Norma...!)
You are exactly 20 1/2 years younger than my mother, who died in 1992 and was born in 1903.
It's very inspiring to see such terrific drawings and to see your Saturday group looking so happy! Hope you had a great day!
