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

HI! thank you very much! I was in front of the computer all day! Listening to a double header... (DS's baseball team is headed to the NAIA first round for the world series! woo hoo! lol)

Happy Birthday Brat Kat. I hope you have a very special day. Are you going to tell us how old you are?

hahahaha! Miss Washington ooooh, lala! lol Thank you all so much! I really appreciate it. I'm watching the mariner game right now, and watching DH mowing the back lawn! lol I'm going ot plant a few veggies in our new garden. We went out for brunch this morning with DS and his girlfriend. It was very nice! thank you all so much! It's always good to add another birthday!
