(Sneaking in to reply to this wonderful post, soooooo so very late. I did read this on my birthday and truly appreciate and treasure all of your sweet comments! It has been a tough and overly-busy month, and this has been a really nice thread to pop back to as needed. I had a great birthday -- Hubby made me a delicious breakfast and dinner full of some of my favorite foods, and we also went on a great little 5 mile hike along with a stop for a yummy lunch in a small town nearby. Just what I needed!
Rachy, I hope you had a fabulous birthday! As fabulous as the outfit you wore out, if that's even possible. It would be blast to do a gin and saltines twinnie birthday in person some day. We can discuss the merits and subtleties of west coast punk ^^)
