Gee, thank you girls! And yes, it's so far a great day. Right now, while the snow is changing to sleet, DH is cooking us Indonesian food. Yum! He's cooking enough for days of leftovers. Heehee! :) MaryO

Brenda even though August birthdays last a month, I still missed it. Things have been a little crazy around Florida lately. Looks like you had plenty of well-wishers for the big occasion though. I can barely remember hitting the big 40. Had a doctor appointment for yearly physical and he asked me how I was doing. I told him I was fixing to fall apart because it was my BD. He said he didn't know why but More women hated getting 40 than any other year. It really wasn't bad though, I've had a lot worse.LOL Glenda

Thank You All! I didn't see it until just now. Y'all are so sweet. For my birthday DH bought a Shantung Maple. Of course, you knew I'd go for flora over jewelery. great smiles of appreciation cynthia

Happy Birthday (though a tad late) - birthdays should always be special - it is the only holiday that is yours exclusively.
