Tears are coming to my eyes as I read this. Thank you everyone for your kind words. YLF makes me feel like a special person, every single day. This community has an important place in my life now, and I hope to keep posting for another 10 years. Or more!

Pictured: 1) Denise with Maggie in 2007, she was 8 or 9 weeks old. 2) Robbie. 3) Bernie the tricolor dog, who is in doggie heaven. Pictured with Coco(Lion) on the right. 4) Hugo, Haybale and Danny. 5) My Danny. Note, nothing should be inferred of his picture being 5th… lol.

Happy birthday Denise! Hope you have a great day, surrounded by all the wonderful creatures big and small in your life

Happy birthday, Denise! I live in constant hope that someday I might be as cool as you are. I love the pics you shared. May your day be filled with happiness and love. XO

Happy Birthday, dear Denise! You are so much fun in person, I loved your encouragement and support at the Bloomingdale's body scanning machine. Your outfits are always a treat, dressy rocker girl. Party on!

Happy, Happy Birthday......have a wonderful day

Hope you had a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday, Denise! You do always have a twinkle in your eye and your sense of style is out of this world. And the horses! (Somehow I missed them in prior posts) You are living the life I dreamed of as a young girl! Hope your day was extra special.

Best of days to you, lovely Denise. Your shy smile graces the forum as much as you fab, California style. Love the way you stay true to yourself stylewise while living on a ranch and working a job that limits what you can wear. It reminds me not to be constrained by my typical suburban environment.

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday Denise!! You are an adventurous fashionista and show us how to have fun with fashion :). You rock! Hope you had a blast!

Happy birthday to my favorite denim guru! Your style is squeelicious! Plus, your recent WIW's are magazine worthy. You could be a model, seriously.

Happy Birthday Denise. I hope you had a great one. I always look forward to your posts. You have such great style. I love your taste. It was also wonderful to meet you. I hope to see you again. PM me anytime if you wish.

A very happy birthday! Hope it was a wonderful day.

Wishing you a happy birthday and a wonderful year to come!
