Kitti--I just posted on your thread. Welcome back!

Bill--Thanks for your encouragement.

LNL--You crack me up! Thanks for your colorful birthday message. You're awfully creative... No wonder we have so many parallels. Another Aries sister!

CBH--If you're reading this, I know your birthday is upon us as well. I hope you make it a happy one.

Okay, so I share my birthday here in the US with Tartan Day. I'm happily wearing my mother's clan plaid, and even happier to report that I've been able to take in the side belt straps another notch. Life is good here!

When I walked downstairs to the kitchen, Mr. Wonderful was reviewing D10's math homework. He smiled and wished me a happy birthday. So far this has already beat his attempts last year! I got in my car to find a card on my dashboard.

He wrote something pleasant, though I've had more warm messages from really close friends. He commented that he thought of my mother when picking out the card ( ) and told me that I was catching up with him???

Oh well, he acknowledged it and that's a good thing. My positive for the day. We have no plans nor has he said anything about making them. Today is my day to take the girls to RE. After that, D10's got her art exhibit at the library and we're heading over there to see what wondrous project they are displaying. Then I promised to take them out to eat, because I'm not cooking.

That's it from my corner of the ocean for now. I'm still trying to catch up here at work... but I'll report anything of significance if I get it!

Thanks for stopping by!
