Thank you all, my dear, dear friends. Yesterday we had one of those days here at our house -- no water for 36 hours, Freya sneaking a pizza off the kitchen counter, and the smell of fresh polyurethane pervading the cold, damp house.... On the other hand, I had the loving affection of Tom and my DS Jacob, calls and cards from family, and greetings from all of you. And tonight we're going out to dinner to try celebrate again. Carla, Luanne, Jon, Anita, Lori, Ingrid, Sue, Carolina, Pamela, and Carol -- each one of your messages brought smiles and memories to my mind. I just realized that with the exception of Ingrid, I know each one of you in the Real World (as opposed to online) -- Ingrid, we'll just have to correct that soon. The only birthday wish I have left (besides more rain) is to hope that I get to see you all again as frequently and as soon as may be. Rosefolly

Thanks for the good wishes! It was a lovely day, just me and DH....Liana 's boyfriend finished up his Masters this week and she is off helping him move. We just got back from a massage (ahhhhhhh.....) and an excellent early dinner. DH hands me the laptop, "You haven't checked your forum today....it's your birthday." lol This was dinner: "Beef Tender with BÃ©arnaise Hand cut beef shoulder tender marinated in thyme, rosemary and sage, pan seared and oven roasted, served with sauce BÃ©arnaise, smashed Yukon Gold potatoes and seasonal vegetable". The smashed potatoes were cooked whole, smashed, and then fried until golden and crispy. Dessert was caramel and chocolate ganache layered in a peanut butter cookie crumb crust. omg Annie, I broke down and bought an All American last summer. I got a screen door for my birthday (which hopefully includes rebuilding my falling-apart front porch). awwww....I miss you guys too. Oh for high speed at home......

Thanks, all (and thanks for the heads-up EJ)! Linda and Linda...not to worry, I'm late too, lol. It was certainly a Monday. Loooong day at work, but DH took me for a very excellent alder-grilled salmon lunch. Work has been crazy, but if all goes according to plan I'll get to celebrate with a four day weekend. And it looks like it might be margarita weather, yay! I miss you guys...

Thanks you guys...it's been a good day so far even if I did have to work for a few hours. I started out with an hour and 15 min. massage, then to work, which consisted of hiding in my office with the latte Mert had waiting for me and buying books. Then we had birthday chocolate cream pie and I left early. We're waiting for Liana to get home and then we're headed to our favorite Mediterranean restaurant that's famous for using lots of garlic. Fun place where the cooks dance around and clap and sing to the really loud Turkish music. The chef/owner will make the rounds beating on his drum, asking if we've had enough garlic. And on Thursday nights they have a belly dancer, so it should be an interesting evening. Meanwhile someone named Margarita Ontherocks is calling my name........

Thanks, all. It's raining and I had to work, but it was a slow day, I got lots done, and DH had a margarita waiting for me when I got home. Life is good...

The kid and her BF decided to come up and make dinner... apricot ginger pork tenderloin, potatoes roasted with herbs from their garden and strawberry-rhubarb (also from their garden) compote with white chocolate mousse. It will be good....no matter what, hehe.

LOL, Cathy. And, Lee....the fan on my server started making noise. I bet I get The Call around Wednesday.

Happy Birthday!! How nice that your daughter is cooking for you. As for "The Call", I assume you mean that they will be asking you to fix something.

Everything must be very green where you are now with all the rain.

Your dinner sounds great and I'm laughing about you already expecting "The Call". The next time you need a vacation I think you should leave the country - and forget your cell phone.

Happy Birthday, again!
