Thanks one and all. I don't much keep track if I can help it. I didn't buy any Roses on my birthday but I did buy "Rosey" Not midlife crisis, just a new toy and I am on the losing side of who gets to drive it. Seems Billie likes it as much as I do. b

Ty for the birthday wishes. We never did anything special. We had gone out on New Year's Eve and tomorrow night we are going out for Steak.

Thank you for the good wishes. This just makes it an extra day for celebration. Had a nice family party with luscious food and great presents, so who could ask for anything more? Wait...maybe to subtract a year instead of adding one..lol, but then eventually my kids would catch up to me. Thanks everyone.

What a nice surprise! Thank you, everyone! I had a lovely day yesterday and tonight we just got home from my niece's birthday party where my sil surprised me with a German Chocolate cake -- my favorite! Thank you again! Tamara
