HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River.
Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Symphony. The next year she took me to Ron of Japan for way too much lobster with cream sauce and a bit of sake. When I turned 38, my husband gave me a French horn. When I turned 43, we went to a James Taylor concert. Last year, I saw the Cubs (yay) play the Cleveland Indians. This year, I just want people to wish me a happy birthday...and many more.

Glad there are some very talented people sharing your 'day' with you. And glad that husband gave you a gift that keeps on giving every time you use it.

Forty-five, eh? I'd never have guessed from the photo. You look far too young and cute. hee hee.
And lucky old Bach, sharing a birthday with you.
Someone should take you to dinner tonight. Find someone and tell him or her that I said so :>
Many Kisses to you,

It cheers me to know that now there are only three years between us. I feel like I'm a year younger.
August will bring my three score years and ten, so does that make you feel nice and young!!!!!
