You have a special place in my hearth </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-extradinary-ornella/page/2#post-1358053 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 08:49:44 +0000 Ornella 1358053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie ::</b>&nbsp;it's unbelievable&nbsp;you've had time for this thread this week. I cannot&nbsp;thank you enough for your thoughtfulness. You keep finding new ways to amaze me over and over again.</p> <p><b>And to all of you, wonderful, magical&nbsp;women</b>...&nbsp;</p> <p>thank you so much for adding extra joy to my day and please excuse me if I don't get to thank you personally. I hope I live up to your words and enjoy your friendships&nbsp;for many years to come. This was my 42nd birthday, which I always thought to be bigger milestone than the&nbsp;40th, because as Douglas Adams wrote in "The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy":&nbsp;“<b><i>The Ultimate Answer to Life, The Universe and Everything is... 42</i></b>!” :-)</p> <p>This birthday came&nbsp;exactly 10 years after my husband and I had moved in to our then-home, the first one we owed, when he said "<i>Well, I can't really top this birthday gift, so no more gifts from now on</i>.'" Nice try, buddy.&nbsp;I did not ask for any special gifts this year, but am saving that spot for when I find something I really like, want or need... or save enough for (new camera, I'm eyeing you.)&nbsp;Although, my son thinks I really, really, r.e.a.l.l.y&nbsp;need one Lego set just for myself, with the house, tree, small garden... and, you know,&nbsp;he'd help me build it just in case I get stuck. Nice try, little buddy!</p> <p>One gift I got - the one from myself - is a book I bought this summer and was waiting for the birthday to start reading it because I knew it would touch me deeply and because it's written by the young woman from my hometown (and even my old neighbourhood, as I figured out), so reading it was partially like walking once again&nbsp;towards being 42 and trying to find out the&nbsp;answers to Life, The Universe and Everything.<br />&nbsp;<br />The day itself&nbsp;was quiet for me personally, dealing with the contractors who are still on the site, but hubby and I managed to sneak out for a quick coffe at our favourite place.</p> <p>We did not celebrate yesterday, but will this weekend, when the cake with lots of chocolate and&nbsp;hazelnuts will be served. And we plan to go to the big open toboggan in the hills nearby for the family celebration.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also received a lot of messages, some from friends and people I haven't heard from for years. Warm fuzzes overload and wonderful start of the new year of my life.</p> </p> <p> <div>Thank you again for all the wonderful, touching messages&nbsp;and for making YLF my only real on-line home.&nbsp;As my gift to you, here is a fab find from when I googled "42". Is there a better place to practice&nbsp;#20 than YLF?<br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-extradinary-ornella/page/2#post-1357994 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 04:13:12 +0000 calmwave 1357994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy birthday, &nbsp;Ornella! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/happy-birthday-extradinary-ornella/page/2#post-1357966 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 03:33:12 +0000 Jaime 1357966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Birthday lovely, delightful Ornella.
