Carol - It's your garden that inspired me! Deb - thank you, does Tiramisu count if it has candles in it? Jackie - mon jardin est ton jardin! Judith - Crocus Rose is one of my very favorites - did you know? Ann - My theory is you should always have roses on order, then you can never say you're finished. Hamp - how do you manage to get every one of your roses to bloom in lucious clusters??? Melva - are you a March baby too (shhh I won't tell) Pam - can't wait to see it in person! (and you and Michael of course) Carla - thank you, is that Cramoisi Superieur? Paula - you flatter me - I always love to read your posts, so thoughtful! Sue - Don't tell me that's another shot of your Alchymist - you know you inspired about 99% of GW to plant it this year (myself included). Will we see you at San Simeon in April? Patricia - Please, come have a cup of tea, walk through my garden and enjoy the breeze! Buford - thank you, it was a wonderful birthday weekend Luanne - somehow I've forgotten the part about bugging me, I just know I'm glad I went, roses will never be the same without your spiritual mots! Olga - thank you, a lovely photo, is that a tea? Mme Berkeley perhaps? Kaye - Buds!!! Not all of my roses have even broken dormancy yet! Jerome - thank you for reminding me - I knew that but forgot. Krista - Thanks, what a gorgeous color on your RdesV. Randy - A gorgeous photo of a classic rose. Mine looks like she made it through winter very well. Emmie - I suppose if I had accomplished what JSB did I wouldn't mind being 322 either! Niels - fantastic!!! Did you propagate the sport yourself, or is it commercially available? Thank you for sharing it for my birthday. Thanks again everyone for helping to make my birthday special (now if it would go away and not come back again...) George

Oh Compumom, you made me laugh! It could be a while yet before I start cooking. I got some things called Toasties from a coffee shop a while back. They're simply fancy sandwiches, cut extra thick, with interesting fillings like Chicken and Guacamole, which are served to you toasted. I bought a couple to freeze, and toast myself at home. Well - it worked just fine the first time. I put the Toastie, frozen, into my small cast-iron frypan on a fairly low heat, and with a lid on, to allow time for thawing before it browned. It took a while, but it was nice. So I tried it a second time. This time, I walked away and clean forgot about it. (This happens frequently, since my short-term memory is shot to pieces. I get side-tracked so easily that I often forget where I'm up to in making a cup of tea!) I only 'remembered' the Toastie when I noticed black smoke permeating the study, far from the kitchen. Exit one Toastie. So much for my return to the kitchen, m'dear! I am definitely NOT to be relied upon to work in there with absolute safety. So I'm still getting Meals on Wheels. Sigh. And yes, one of these lovely men has replaced the battery in my smoke alarm!!

Hi everyone and thank you for the good wishes. I guess they must have worked, because I had a very nice day! I took the day off of work and had lunch and did a bit of shopping with DD, then caught up on errands and work on the remodel. I even managed to fit in some "me time" for a manicure. Tonight we dined at a relatively new Italian restaurant called Farfalla. With their bread they served a roasted veggie pureed spread that DH adored. My meal was Branzino (Italian Sea Bass), crashed polenta, and rapini. For dessert they served a refreshing mango sorbet. DH had veal Saltimboca and Mom had the Piccata. All of us were delighted! A less stressed day was the perfect gift! No time with the grands today due to schedule conflicts and early bedtimes, but they made sure to sing to me over the phone. We'll celebrate on the weekend! P.S. to Lars-- I'm happy that you enjoyed your birthday at the Lobster and pleased that my description inspired your visit!

Ellen, since you haven't checked in here yet, I'm going to assume that you have already started celebrating. Happy Birthday, I hope it's wonderful.

Good morning! Thanks for the kind wishes! Nope, haven't started celebrating, but DH and I are taking the day off. The grands were ill yesterday, so that doesn't bode well for seeing them today :(
My parents want to take us out tonight, but I haven't decided. Sunday we had a family dinner of sorts with my parents & cousins and so I'm not feeling as celebratory tonight. Hoping to get away over the weekend for a couple of nights, but nothing firm yet.
Today will include a little birthday shopping a nice lunch with DH and maybe a quick trip to the museum to see the Vanity Fair photo exhibit. We shall see..

We had a good day, lunch was a fun surprise, we ate at CRAFT, "Top Chef's" Tom Colicchio's outpost in Century City. Service was excellent, the food, suffice it to say, just wasn't to our taste. It's a great space, but I much preferred the food at Mario Batali's, Mozza Pizzeria.
We then shopped around and DH bought me one gift and maybe something else too if I can make a decision! We never made it to the Vanity Fair exhibit, but it's still on our To-Do list.
Dinner with my parents this evening at a local (the Valley Inn-- stop laughing Jessy)eatery. It's okay, but definitely better than the alternative stress of eating at my mother's!
Thanks for all the good wishes,despite missing seeing my kids and grands, it turned out to be a much nicer day than I anticipated!
