Thanks so much, everybody! Annie, I DO have time to post today, because the partying was done last night, when DH and I attended the bar mitzvah celebration of a cousin's twin sons. To keep this food-related: after munching on appetizers, we dined on filet mignon, Chilean sea bass, asparagus, roasted potatoes, salad, and fruit-nut bread. For dessert, there were two birthday cakes (chocolate and vanilla) plus make-your-own ice cream sundaes. It was all very wonderful and delicious. Tonight's dinner will certainly pale in comparison, but I think we need something light. My daughter's birthday gift is a cookbook, Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous: My Search for Jewish Cooking in France, by Joan Nathan. It's filled with stories and mouth-watering photos, and I can't wait to dive in. Thanks again for all your good wishes, Sue

Happy Belated birthday Nancy, I'm so sorry I'm late but have been in South Carolina with our Twins again. Haven't been on GW in a few days. Karen

I always party on for an extended period of time. Took a long time for me to get where I am so I figure one day is not going to do it so.....Happy early Birthday, Nancylouise! jude

Thanks for all the Birthday wishes everyone. It was a nice quiet day spent with family. My mom and little brother(even tho he is 50, he is still my little brother ;) )came up from Mass. for the day. We drove down to the beach and the Nubble Lighthouse. Hung out at home and got caught up on the rest of the family. My daughter Ariel made dinner-lasagna roll ups, garden salad, and garlic bread. Wayne made my birthday cake-lemon cake with coconut frosting and double chocolate ice cream. They just left for the drive back to Mass. It was a great day! NancyLouise
