Happy Birthday Floranista!

We're celebrating your 29th birthday!  Yay!





Fay and monkeyweather have been in the kitchen all night!  We've been
hearing pots banging and tea kettles whistling, and once we even heard
a scream.  Look what they've baked for you!  Beautiful!





 RadioMattM and Lewy put on their aprons to prepare you a gourmet dinner. 
Something smells really good...





Levi and Jourdan spent most of yesterday rummaging around the TCKT cellar,
coughing dust and swatting at cobwebs.  All their spelunking paid off,
because they've unearthed the perfect wine!





The alphabet people, DWT, ~KC~, and AFW rocked out to Grateful
Dead songs on their trip to Los Angeles.  They wanted to get you something
you've always wanted...I hope we didn't hurt him when we peeled off
the duct tape... 


Aridog, Old Iron, Alison, Mauro, and Luther tramped all over western Virginia to bring you this very rare plant.  It's clematis viticaulis, otherwise known as Millboro Leatherflower!





Annie and I scoured antique shops from Jerusalem to Capri to find
you an elegant tub for a relaxing birthday bubble bath...how many
people do you know who receive a bathtub from their friends?
Pfft!  None, that's who!




            HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FLORRIE!

  2. Now you'd better have a good birthday or we will sing "Happy Birthday to You."

    Now if that isn't a threat, I don't know what is.

  10. Tom, you devil you!

    ladies, he just came home and brought me my birthday gifts - lots of goodies from Estee Lauder. And he picked all the right things (as well as a lovely card). This has been a very happy day, thank you all.

    (I'm surprised he remembered the name - TCKT, yay! He must have posted that from work...)

    Yes, lady red outdid herself, it's perfect.

    Well, it would be very un-birthday-ish to have to scroll past stories about Nazis and Depression to read HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

  19. Happy Birthday, florrie! I tried to post a message from my iPhone, but it wouldn't work!

    I'm so glad to know you and so lucky to have you in my life! You're a blessing to everyone you meet, and one of the blessings I count every day.

  20. Warrior, great to see you here!!

    Wow, you all said such nice things, my ego went through the ceiling! Thank you so much, I'm so glad to count you all as my friends.

    It's been a fun day and Gonzaga won so that was icing on the cake.

    And speaking of cake, I better go have some before it gets any later...

    Night, you all.

  21. monkeyweather, I lol'ed at all your graphics. It reminded me of something my sister sent last week; she's a stepmom to 2 college-age young men.

    I'll dig it up and post it, I apologize in advance if it's too big, I don't know how to resize yet...
