Thank you "gals" and thank you, Teresa, for doing a good job of keeping up with the "aging process" of us all! (big smile) And, for sure, I do want to wish you a very happy day, McT!! It's funny, I've only ever had personal knowledge of one other person in my life with the same date of birthday, then along comes McT and in our care-group at church, there are now two others of "us" , making 3 out of 26 people who have the same "day" as you and I, McT--not "year" but "day"! I've made the big "6-0" this year. Seems about the same as yesterday at "5-9" but the day isn't over yet! LOL Oh, that was my age not my height! My height is actually 5'7", and "NO", I'm not about to reveal my weight---none of your business, ya'll! (Real big laugh) I've been so tremendously busy and involved in some pretty heavy stuff the last few weeks, and not been on the computer communicating during that time. I never thought that'd happen. Teresa gave me a "head's up" about the birthday so I knew I had to check in and say "thank you"! I see I missed Pat and Caliloo's days respectively! So sorry "gals"! I hope you had great days each of you!!! Gotta run--just realized I need to get a new license this year! Groan! Tags are good but they need another pic. I guess--just for laughs! :O) janice

Thank you Dcarch, Sally, Jasdip and bcskye for the birthday wishes. I had a very fun day at work. I sent out an invitation to about 100 co-workers and friends this morning. It said "I'm 60 today and one day you will be too!" I don't like cake so I ordered a full sheet pan, giant rice krispy bar! It was 3" thick and way too much for the 70+ people that showed up. I've never met anyone with an October 1 birthday before. So it came as a real surprise last year when I found out the woman I work for shares my birthday. She went to Philly yesterday and had to miss the party. One of the guys that also works for her made a quick video and sent it to her phone. She was at the airport boarding her flight to come home when she received it. She particularly like the inscription on the giant bar. I don't know how old Molly is ....I'm thinking early 40's. She had no idea I was 60 however! Dcarch - you should receive your rice later this week. And then you can entertain us with the many unusual creations you come up with. I have shared many pounds of rice over the years. But I don't think I have ever known anyone who is so creative and who enjoys the rice as much as you do. Happy Birthday to you ......whenever it is! Teresa

My slip up, everyone, and I am sorry. There is one more birthday in Patchwork Pines during September. I did not realize that a group had 3 members in a single month and forgot to turn the page on that list when I was posting this earlier. Thanks to a member who sent me a reminder! Here is the correct list Carolina Lilies September 26 - hazelnutbunny Patchwork Pines September 10 - geezerfolks/SharonG/FL September 17 - teresa_nc7 September 21 - Odessa Quilts Galaxy Stars September 10 - grammyp September 21 - Odessa Quilts Best Friends None I guess the good news for Patchwork Pines is that you have two remaining birthdays in October and then your year is finished!

So many good quotes on one day, it took me a while yesterday evening to read through and I have too many favorites. Thanks and I think I re-read later today.
