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

Kartwheel, yoohoo!!!are you here? Are you stuck somewhere in that game? Linda

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

Thanks so much for the birthday wishes. It was not a good day for me. Due to the bad weather we had the night before I was unable to use my computer. The technician came today to repair it...talk about withdrawal pains for one whole week...I didn't think I would survive. My DH had surgery and wasn't doing well, the daughter was having problems, her son (my grandson) found out his back is broken...it just kept getting worse. If I could have gotten on line your wishes would have made my day. Thanks again.
