Every day above ground is a good one...

[Mrs.Matcom]

6. Dearest Peggy

here you go... :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug: No worries my friend! Look how many peeps love you here!!! Did you have this many five years ago??? Well, you probably did because you are so awesome!!! :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

10. My dear Mrs.Matcom!

How lovely to have you in my thread tonight!

I'm really not too worried......after all, as Redstone pointed out, it sure as heck beats the alternative!

And actually, five years ago, I wasn't here....my second anniversary arrives next Feb...

Thank you, sweetie......:hug:

[Mrs.Matcom]

14. I am honored to be

in your thread!!! :hug:

Take care my friend!

[reyd reid reed]

8. Damn straight you can...

I've been doing some thinking since my birthday (which would explain the inexplicable smell of charred...something. And the smoke detectors going off whenever I'm around :eyes: ) and if I can take it, you can take it.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear reyd reid reed!

Nothing like having the support of your good friends though, is there?

I can take it!

Thanks for being here tonight, sweetie.......

Hope you got done with the jury duty thing! :hug:

[MoseyWalker]

11. Your birthday is four days before mine

no fair!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. My dear MoseyWalker.......

And I'll just bet my birth year is a lot further back than yours!

I am in my sixties, after all!

Talk about fairness, huh...

:hug: :loveya:

[Ptah]

15. I didn't have time to wrap it.

Happy pre-birthday, my good neighbor.



:hug:

[MoseyWalker]

17. wow. i was thinking about giving a tshirt that

said "I had my birthday, and all I got was this tshirt" but now.........nothing can top whatever that incredible thing is!

[Ptah]

25. It's an abstract representation of a telescope.

And here is an actual telescope being relocated:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. Awww, my dear Ptah.......

That is just an awesome picture, sweetie........

I will love it forever.......

And we'll allow the folks taking care of it to continue to do so...

Since they are so much more expert than I am at such things!

Blessings on you....... :loveya: :hug:

[Ptah]

28. I see many more happy birthdays in your future.

Hug your kids.

[Haole Girl]

21. Hugs (((HUGS)))....oh....and....

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear KC2!

Oh what a wonderful greeting smiley!

But ...but...it's not for ten more days! But that's good....

I still love them!

:bounce: :bounce:

:loveya: :hug:

[hfojvt]

24. You know what I think is funny. Is that I always think ahead.

Like right now I think - 'I'm almost 45' because in a mere 4 months I will be 45. Then when my birthday gets here, I feel like I should be 46 because I have been 45 for so long.

Thing is, in ten days you will not be a year older, you will just be ten days older.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear hfojvt...........

I like your perspective on this whole question........

Thank you........:loveya: :hug:

[Whoa_Nelly]

26. Each year is another year of grace

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. My dear Whoa_Nelly.........

That is just beautiful, sweetie......

Thank you for it!

It is also very true.........:loveya: :hug:

[Gelliebeans]

51. Happy Early Birthday

Here is a big birthday hug :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

How cool of you to play in my thread, sweetie!

Thank you for the big birthday hug.........And the lovely wishes too! :hug:

the lounge tonight and glad you were here. You are one of favorite DUer's. You are very special.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

59. I cannot express what your lovely words mean to me...

I have been working pretty hard lately at being a mod...

And I haven't had a big silly thread like this one in forever...

Me...special....what a concept.

If you knew my childhood, you'd understand why I say that......

Amazing.....Thank you......:hug:

[Gelliebeans]

60. I will stop by more often

and stay away from GD (makes me clench my teeth)
Instead coming in here I suddenly feel the warmth of friends. You have always gone out of your way to be empathetic and kind to newbies oldbies and the bies in between and SPECIAL is the best word to descibe you my dear.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

61. It would be lovely to see you more often......

Thank you for the wonderful rose...

And the excellent thoughts too......:hug:
