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

Thank you everyone. We are on vacation in TN. We had snow flurries the last 2 days-the kids enjoyed that! No where to eat here-we brought KFC home for dinner after spending the the day in Knoxville. Hows that for a Bday dinner LOL?? We are by Norris Lake. Tonight we went in the hot tub while it was snowing!

I hope each of you has a truly happy day. H a p p y B i r t h d a y ! Shirley

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