Happy Birthday To Me

Yes. I am not ashamed. It is my birthday. I'm a solstice boy. Here's a copy of a card I received from a very good friend this year. It made me smile.

Birthday greetings from Lorraine and Lou.

As you know, I love la tour Eiffel. Another year older, although no deeper in debt. In fact, not in debt at all. Some wisdom does come with age. Or at least a bit of luck.

    Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! Have a fabulous day!!!!

    I am jealous you can say you're debt free..we're aggressively working towards it (and haven't used credit in over 2 years) but, oh, the painful slow going of it all.

    Happy birthday from your friends in Pennsylvania. What a great time of year to be born, when the days start to lengthen.

    My word verification is "newin."

    Thanks for posting your chouette birthday card- just looking at the tower decked out makes me smile.

    I do think a solstice birthday is special, I'm always happy to have longer days. My birthday in September is near the equinox, so it's a bummer having shorter days.

    Did you hear that Davis Cup is coming to Birmingham in March? US vs Switzerland, not bad, non?

    Bon Anniversaire and many happy returns.

    Hope your day was a happy one and that the coming year is, too. So much to look forward to, longer days, the coming of spring (eventually), and the swearing in of a new president. Hugs to you both.

    PS: My challenge word was plessed -- I take that as a combination of pleased and "bessed" [g].
