Thanks to all of you. To those who posted, sent a card, called, or did a "face-to-face". And also to those who only thought about it. I appreciate every one of them more than you know.
It was a very special day for me. I truly didn't know how many people's lives I'd touched. It was, to put it mildly, overwhelming.
You'll be happy to know the partying isn't over, yet. Next Sunday a group of us old folk are getting together for a party. There's 3 of us whose birthdays we're gonna be celebrating. Our birthdays are on the 7th (mine), 9th (a good friend of mine) & 13th (an high school classmate who I've recently gotten together with - we're on the committee planning our 50th HS reunion next May) We're going dancing (at a "senior center" where the music isn't so loud!!!) then are gonna have a big meal (with cake) to celebrate (and recuperate from the dancing!

)
Thanks again .. we'll do it again next year at this time!
