Awww, shucks guys and gals. What a great thing to see when getting out of bed. Sitting here reading my beautiful birthday greetings and having my first cup of coffee. A GREAT way to begin the day.
Thanks for the heartfelt wishes. It's so nice to be remembered.
Much love to all,

Hey Todd, I still have the photo of you holding up the happy birthday Marion sign, from Iraq, which you sent last year. It's still hanging on my laser printer!

What can I say , after all those super greetings, but just " HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARE ".
A lot of water has flowed under the bridge these past few years.
And you are stronger than ever. The sun came out today and I have to wonder if it might be your DAD, beaming his own special
thoughts down to you. I still remember that photo of you as a little girl, sitting on your dads lap. No words were needed to show the love you have for him.
Enjoy your day

I was thinking about that as I was crafting my post this morning. One from this year would just be from Albany so it wouldn't be very exciting.
