Sandy,
I left a message on your machine but I'm not sure if your hearing aid was turned up enough to hear the phone ring!
Just kidding although my Mom taught me to respect my elders so I better be careful.
Have a wonderful birthday and thanks for being one of the shining stars in my life. You are a blessing to me in more ways than you will ever know.
Love,
Barb

I can't believe I missed this...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TRACEY
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SANDY
I hope both of you are having a great day.
I see by Tracey's post that she is. After all, how better to spend a birthday than going shopping!!!!!!!! We'll talk about how you actually spent your day on the "other" site. 
So Sandy...just how did you spend your day?
Sharon
Shopping??? Did someone mention shopping? I'll get my hat... ;-)
Where I can be found most days.
