I just returned home from my birthday celebration to find this thread.
I am sincerely touched by the number of heart-felt wishes that were left--and all by individuals whom I admire. Thank you so much.
All of your fabulous birthday wishes did reach me in New Orleans, where I was celebrating with my Honey--because I enjoyed the best birthday ever!
Sending you all bear-hugs xoxo
