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

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

What a nice surprise! Thank you for sharing your special moment. And I hope your whole day was spectacular! Birthdays are really good for you, the more of them you have, the longer you live! And since 7 is supposed to be a lucky number, this coming year is bound to be double good. That's what I told myself when I reached that magic number recently. (Grin) Rusty

Wait...Little G, Jase, MamaP and me are all April or (Aries) babies? Anyone else? Mine was April 4. When is yours Little G and Jase. Sorry didn't mean to hijack Alex's Birthday wishes thread.
