Thank you! Beautiful horse, BTW, he's got better hair than I do, LOL. I've been having some problems logging in this morning, I thought Gardenweb had fixed that, but apparently not. So far today I've been carrying old paint cans up from the basement, the County is having their "hazardous waste" clean up on Saturday. I've made coffee, returned some pop cans, weeded the herb garden. Elery is in Jackson picking up some more of his clothes and garage stuff. Yes indeed, the party is going wild here in White Cloud. (grin) We'll have a cookout on Saturday, here at my house. Dave's birthday was the 22nd. Elery and I had an anniversary on the 10th, Ashley's anniversary was the 17th, Elery's son Chris had a birthday on the 24th and Ashley's birthday is June 6. We're having one big cookout and then they're going to help me uncover the pool. We do know how to celebrate here... Party on, dudes and dudettes, and especially my almost, kind of close to, sort of, birthday twin, dedtired. Annie

Annie, I'd never forget a friend's birthday! I was hanging out with visiting relatives over the weekend. But I was with you in spirit, while you were busy serving food to 300 hungry guests. Remember that little voice that whispered: "Run Awaaaay"...that was me. I'm glad you didn't take my advice though, as the celebration benefited other folks, outside the wedding party. I hope you're well-rested, and ready to riverdance your way through a new day. Best Wishes for a Happy Belated Birthday AB! Sol

I had already contacted Annie via email with my birthday wishes, so I'm not Johnny-come-lately. But I still wanted to add my greetings here because even the paper covered this event! Check out the headline. Hey pal, I hope you got most of your wishes granted. Oh, but you might as well give up on your kid cleaning her room for your birthday. Being a mom of two, I know how pointless that is; opt for World Peace, it's easier. Sol

Happy Birthday Annie1971. Hope you have a lovely day filled with family, love, laughter and joy and may it be the first of many blessed days in the coming year.
