Re: Re: Four O'Clocks, wedding..
Don't know what I was thinking of. Haven't been chiming in on emailing
birthday wishes didn't intend to mention mine. Let me wish a belated Happy
Birthday to all those I've neglected.
Mine is the 31st.
I've got a decade + more than you Melody. I wish I could send you the card a
coworker gave me on my 40th.
Picture on the front of a head with something small leaping off,
"AAAaaaiiiieeee!" Inside. "I know we lose brain cells as we age,
I just wish mine weren't so dramatic about it."
Judy B
z 6 Idaho, raining again tonight after a warm bright afternoon.
