Happy Birthday,Sharon. I'd have to look up the time difference (8 or 9 hrs?), but by my time you have a whole day to enjoy!

Happy Birthday Sharon. Jessica is right, you have been missed.

Ann

Happy birthday!

I was just thinking about you on Sunday. (We had a bible college student come back from Mallorca and I just pictured him crossing paths (only because it's that side of the "world") with you smiling at him. He'd have been so lucky to see you).

Hope you enjoy your day!

happy birthday, Sharon! Hope you are having a spectacular day! I am another who really misses seeing you here!

Hope all is well in your corner of the world...

Linda

Happy Birthday, Sharon! I echo all the above sentiments. I miss seeing you, too.

Hope it was a fantastic day for you and Wolf.

You ARE in paradise, unlike my moniker! LOL

Happy Birthday Sharon. I think of you and Wolf often and miss you on the forum.

Making your pastry today and will toast you as I enjoy one of the many wonderful contributions you have made.

I so miss your beautiful pictures.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARON!!!!

I thought of you yesterday! I friend of mine called to see if I'd like to do a cruise with her next year, and of the cruises that caught her attention the most, Tenerife is one of the ports of call. We'll see, but all your pictures have made me very enthusiastic about the possibility!

Hope you are doing well!

Oh thank you all so very much dear friends! Your messages are really heartwarming for me.

I also miss being here and do drop by to have a read when I can. Hopefully I may be able to come back again when things are not so busy here at home. Wolf will continue to be bedridden from now on and I will continue to be his caregiver. But I do get out with girlfriends for some dinners and needed respite from home duties.

I'm so lucky that my Pilates exercise class is at a tennis club which is just a seven minute walk from our house, and they are now putting on some luncheons and evening events which are close enough for me to attend.

I still go to Pilates twice a week and feel it has kept me physically strong, as well as giving me a chance to meet up and chat with classmates, so I'm able to cope. One does need to get away and have contact and support from friends.

Today I invited my friend Lynne to a lunch of chicken salad at the tennis club. They have a delicious one made by the new chef....tender greens, small pieces of chicken, and a super balsamic and honey dressing. We sat outside under a white umbrella and it was so nice. We were invited to champagne on the house and then we had a dessert of apple struedel in a cream sauce. (You see I can't get away from talking about food can I!)

So I've had a lovely day and now it's been made even better by seeing your thoughtful birthday wishes.
Thanks again dear friends. I miss you too and hope to get back with you again when I'm better organized.

Bizzo I do hope you make it here for a visit!

Here's a picture of our paradise garden this morning when there was a heavy mist over the hills and the sun wasn't yet out:

Love, Sharon (Canarybird)

Happy Birthday, Sharon! Sounds like you have a good group of ladies to support you.

Glad to hear that you were able to have a nice birthday lunch, but I am sorry that Wolf was unable to join you - he reminds me of my paternal grandfather, who was also German/Prussian.

I've never had a cream sauce with studel, but it sounds very good. Wishing you a delightful rest of the day!

Lars

Happy Birthday Sharon....you and your pictures are missed on this forum!

Sounds like you had a great lunch and best wishes to Wolf.

Di

Lots of wishes for a good year to come, Sharon. Your lunch at the tennis club looks lovely.

Kathleen

Happy Birthday, Sharon! I'm glad you got to have a lovely birthday lunch. We miss you.

Sending you happy b-day wishes and hope you are able to celebrate the *entire* month, and I'm holding a good thought for Wolf, too.
Smiles,
Sooz

The birthday lunch looked scrumptious and the garden really does look like paradise! Happy Birthday Sharon, NancyLouise
