Thank you for your kind welcome Joy. It's a pleasure to be here.

Happiest of birthdays, Joy!!

Joy, I know that I'm so late to this, but I wanted to say a big belated happy birthday to you. I always appreciate your gentle, generous, and helpful words, and of course, your fabulous style. You are one of my style icons! I want to be you when I grow up.

Dear Joy, I glanced over this thread while I've been away and made a mental note to return to it once I'm back home. We're a few weeks apart from being birthday twins, but we share the same star sign - I'll joyfully settle for that. I hope you had a wonderful day and were shown how much loved and treasured you are - you certainly are a treasure on this forum.

I adore your style. You have achieved the right balance of being playful and ladylike, which I find very inspiring and educational. I love how you don't shy from experimenting and how you take care about being age appropriate, although you have no reasons for concerns - you just know how far to take some things.

What I love most of all is of course your wonderful personality. So warm and kind and thoughtful and wise. You are always positive and constructive, and I am humbled how you always manage to comment on my threads. Thank you for that.

Finally, a belated wishes for the 43rd wedding anniversary too. I have caught that information on the Happy Moments thread just before I left, but didn't get a chance to respond. That IS a blessing. I wish you both a lot of happiness and a good health in many more years together.
