Thanks for sharing! I like it a lot!

You not only create sublimely moving photographs of your family but you also use a fountain pen !

A big smile... yes, I like to write with it!

 

[Shab]

The photos in this thread are beautiful. The feelings of intimacy, bonding, love, affection and nurturing that they show, are what I think an ideal family should be. You have made a concrete reality of an ideal. I am happily envious of your success, and it reminds me of what I wish I had growing up.
I salute you.

Big words... thank you in a special way.

It's true that my family is my LIFE. But I will not mislead you, we have our good times and our bad times. Life is life. I hope you will understand what I want to say.

 

[Shab]

Thank you very much!! And these words in basque... thank you!!
Here you have a self-portrait I made in 2020:

Nice self portrait...you look like a kindly man...no surprise there!
Glad you liked the basque
Full disclosure: I have no basque but I do know how to use Google. 🙂

Google works fine!!

Birthday greetings from the home Linn and I call the BauWauHaus. She’d play Happy Birthday if you and your family were here. The terriers would make friends though Angus would bark until you took off your hat.

​​​​​​​


I could play Happy Birthday as well, maybe even with a smile. But Stuart the little tiger would remain merely inscrutable.

 

[peppard]

Happy Birthday and 100 more of these days!

Lynn, Helen, Robert, Robert, peppard, rfaspen, raid, j.scooter and Dogman: Thank you very much from my heart! It has been a special day. I have decided to leave the smartphone at home to be with my family and at night I have come to read your words, slowly and after, write to you.

When I've read each word from each one of you I have done you to be present in my mind... thank you very much again. I wish you all the best.

Warmest regards,
Xabier.

Each day, we can be feel in touch by words, photographs... is a GIFT.

 

[pyeh]

Happy Birthday from me too, Xabier. May you have many many more!

 

[Mlehrman]

The very happiest of birthdays, Xavier. You have given all of us a gift, and you deserve nothing less than the warmth and love only your family can bestow upon you. May you have great days ahead!

 

[rfaspen]

You are VERY wise! Leave the phone and live actual life. Especially with family. I'm about to do just that later this week. My son is coming home for a visit!!! Yes I'm excited.
Happy days to everyone.
