My six pretty things for Susan


Happy Birthday Susan! Your grace, honesty, courage and victory over cancer is an inspiration to everyone.



This is a repost from September 29, 2008. Many friends posted images and blogs for Susan at a particularly rough time for her then. If you don't know her, you should do some archaeology in her blog—she is worthy of your attention and affection. 

 

I love you Susan, thanks for all you've done for me.

 

a valentine's gift

See her lovely insightful blog here. I love her words, her images, what she's overcome, her strength and how she sees the world. She represents what is good on OS—passion, intelligence and artistry. We all belong in her garden.

Happy Birthday, Susan!! Excellent photos are a fitting tribute to her, bbd.
Or not happy birthday, but she's still a wonderful lady and this is still a great tribute.
thank you Pilgrim...it is indeed her birthday today, May 16.

Susan has long been a friend here on OS. She helped shape OS early on with many wonderful suggestions to Kerry and Joan and Thomas. She was also one of the dear OS friends who crossed state borders to attend my book debut and art on the walls soiree last year. She's a dedicated friend, fierce in her loyalty. xo Susan.
You're a good man, Barry Doyle. Happy birthday Susan!
I didn't even know who Susan was until you posted this, Barry. Thank you for that.
Thanks for the intro to Susan, she seems wonderful.

Happy birthday, Susan!
There's something about a man who brings you flowers... Very nice.
Susan is every bit as lovely as these photos Barry, you capture the essence of both beautifully. Happy Birthday Madame.
Such beauty and a lovely tribute. Very thoughtful.
Happy Birthday One Day Late To You, Barry! G O R G E O U S flowers for Susan and for all to share. Thanks for the introduction to Susan (which allowed me to manifest my lame inner comedian). This is a great time of year for birthdays---I say "good job," to the Mothers who gave Susan and Barry to our world.
happy birthday, susan. i've very much appreciated your comments.
You are just too sweet, dear Barry!! I have been enriched more than can be measured by getting to know you and getting to drink in your beautiful images. THANK YOU. And thank you to all the birthday well wishers here! May birthdays are the best, dontcha know? :D
A lovely tribute Barry!
Happiest of days Susan.
You are an inspiration in your work and in your kind encouragement of us all.
With Love and Admiration,
G
