Thanks for the birthday wishes. This is my 55th, yeah I'm an old one. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Noni_TX and Marilyn_Sue!Hope you both enjoy your day too. I'm just staying here at home trying to stay warm, it is a cold day here in IL.

A happy happy birthday to you Mama!! I've got a BobLoad in the dishwasher and will run it in your honor.

Thanks! We just went for a ride and walk on the beach. We had severe storms here last night as Cindy hit us here. It scrubbed the beach clean.

She's a beautiful girl, you've been taking good care of her. I'm feeling the need for a pet again now that we don't have the never-knowing responsibility of my mother where we'd drop what we were doing and get on the freeway not quite knowing if overnight or even longer. My neighbor is here with his two havanese right now. They are adorable, although I didn't have a small dog in mind. More like cat (s), or larger breed dog. Happy Birthday, Pretty. Was she really an April Fool's baby?
