    Happy belated birthday and happy anniversary!  That’s a lot to fit on the calendar for one month.  Soon the year will be over, you can rest and start all over again!

    Thank you, friends! About the birthdays -- Now I look at them as just another year closer to the next thing I can't do anymore. Or at least not as fast.

    That's not quite true. We have 8 living children, 4 girls and 4 boys. But nothing happening in January, so respite!

    I can identify with the December birthdays!  We begin with my daughter’s birthday December 5.  Then comes mine December 24.  My mother’s was December 25.  And my son is December 26!

    Beachfan, I’ve lost your contact info if you could send it to me again, that would be great.
