Happy Birthday to me


Another Ides of March and another year older. I like to fool myself into thinking that I am a Spring baby, but today's weather reminds me that I am really and truly an end-of-winter gal. Oh, well. In some years my birthday is warm with lovely yellow jonquils in the yard, but this year with the late snow and the lack of sunshine I'm afraid that all the jonquils and daffodils I've seen have been in the florist's section of the local grocery. Had a lovely birthday anyway with just-what-I-wanted gifts from husband and daughter (thanks in part to a wish list which was demanded of me) - with a lagniappe or two along the way. Went to our friends' house for brunch and cards and whiled away the afternoon. Cake was yummy, but I must resist any more after today. Time for the old WW routine again.

Hey, thanks. I replied once, but something evil has taken over my desktop, so had to wait for my laptop to free up before I could answer. What I said EARLIER before my other computer ate my response was that I have a lovely necklace whose beauty I've enjoyed for months and thank you very much for that early b'day gift. I'm hoping to get down that way in April. Love you, Les
