Well, I had to install the camera software back on my computer since I didn't do after changing the hard drive but I got er done. Here are the cuteys. The pictures aren't the best but better than the third pic which I wish had came out clear. It was of them peaking out from under one of the pillows. Oh, their names are Lilo and Scratch. G'day, Scott

Thank you one and all!!! and Daisy too, LOL! And the perfect cake to top it off, thanks Mary! Just got home from a scrumptious steak dinner out with a few friends....a drink by the pond, nice dinner out, couple glasses of wine....good friends, good conversation, good food.... ....it doesn't get much better than that! Thanks again my friends, Sarah

HEY GANG, I'm back!!! THANK-YOU!!! All of you!!!! Yes, I was on vacation! Just spent 4 wonderful days on the island on Mille Lacs with friends, what a relaxing way to spend my birthday :) Read, walked, played cards and cribbage, ate great food, listened to great music (Fleetwood Mac included!), drank some good wine (ok, lots), and hugged the dogs,(and tossed lots of sticks). Went from 90, hot and great swimming, to 63 on Sat so we could have a fire in the fireplace(45 at night). Doesn't get much better than that....... And I learned a new recipe....instead of S'mores.... Double Stuff Mint Oreos--twist a cookie apart, toast 1 marshmallow--place it between the 2 halves...squish... :) :) :) :) Thanks again for all the warm wishes! Sarah

Thank you everyone! It's been a fun week: actual birthday was Sunday, and something has come in the mail every day since then, what with fun, silly gifts from my sister, odd stuff from my Amazon wish list and so on. But what a lovely feeling to be remembered and thought about here at the GP: thank you my friends!
