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

Boy, I am really late. I just got my laptop back today. The 3rd would have been my DH's 81st. So was a bit sad for me. But......I hope you had a really really good day. Kathy

Tks, everyone! Every day is a gift to me, but you've made this birthday extra special. Tks. Lydia, my computer is in the shop again. Thought you'd want to know. ;) And, thank you for the the card. *meow* (((Lyd))) Did you like that? I knew you would. lolol.

Sorry to bring this back from page two, but, I just had to thank you all so much for the birthday wishes!!! Also, thank you, ((Joy & Summer)) for your emails. The reason I haven't been around for a while is because last Feb. I was diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer which has recently gone to my lungs, they "think". Well, I'm believing it's not and when I'm ready to hear what 'they' say after this next round of chemo, we'll find out ..... maybe. In the meantime, I'll try to ck in with you guys again soon. Again, thanks for remembering me. :) Love to all!
