Janice... on my recent trip to California, the in-flight movie on the way out there was "Prairie Home Companion." I have to say, it wasn't one of my favorite movies... Interesting, nonetheless... Did you like it?? Thankfully, on the way back we were on a bigger airplane and each seat had it's own video screen. I got to choose from about 4 different movies (The Devil wears Prada, Cars, X-men, and Poseidon.) I watched X-men and it was just ok too, but better than PHC. I liked the first 2 X-men movies better... Buff

Howdie Alexa!! Looks like Mother nature is giving you and extra special sunny spring day for your birthday!! Wishing you all the best!! Cheers! Susie

Happy belated! thinking of the drawing you had for the Christmas Goodies a few years back. I was new to CF, and I won!! Thanks for the welcome :-) Glad to read you are still celebrating

Thanks everyone! Yes, it was a really fun day. A couple of girlfriends wanted to take me out to lunch, but I asked if we could do it next week since this weeks is so jammed. They completely ignored my request and showed up early afternoon with champagne, balloons, presents, berries, cheese, crusty bread, and a killer spinach and artichoke dip. We laughed and talked all afternoon. Last night my family took me out for a special birthday dinner and we had a lovely meal. Towards the end, some other friends walked in to have an after dinner drink and ended up joining us - woot! The party continues! And there is another dinner coming in a couple of weeks, 14 of us are going to a recently redone restaurant here, I can't wait since I have heard so many good reports, so I will be partying for weeks :-) Thanks again and yes, it was a great time.
