Thanks everyone for the kind birthday wishes. I had a great day! Barb

Diane, May your birthday be every bit as special as you are! Wishing you health and happiness! Barb

I wanted to thank everyone for the fantastic birthday wishes. I had a wonderful day, and just knowing you were all thinking of me made it even better! Hugs to you all! Barb

Happy Birthday to one of the world's most wonderful people! XO Barb

I agree...the man is an amazing live performer...more energy than those half his age!

Bernie, I can't wish you enough good things for your birthday and the coming year...you deserve WONDERFUL! Love, Barb

Jeff, my sincere sympathy on the loss of your mother, but how wonderful you have such great memories of her! Barb

Hi Lew, It would appear I missed your birthday, but didn't want to miss the chance to wish you all the best in the year to come anyway! Barb

We watched most of the show. It was strange at best...I thought the performers were just ok and you are right, I can't remember any of their names either! Poor Caroline Kennedy spoke as if she was a puppet!

Happy New Year Kiwi and Muzza...you are wished all things wonderful for the year ahead!

Have a safe trip and a truly Merry Christmas!

OMG...who knew Jim was making a fashion statement on our wedding day!

Annie, why would I not understand? After all, I've ALWAYS thought he was hot!

Ira, to answer your question, Jim and I have a golden retriever named Abby. She is our second golden and absolutely the best dog we've ever had. She had ACL surgery this past May so we made sure we kept her activity low key until she healed. She is back to her old self now!

Thanks everyone for all of the great birthday wishes! It truly makes me feel wonderful to know that everyone is thinking about me! And about your suggestion, Lew....well...while it does sound mighty tempting, I'm thinking I may just keep the current Mr. B for a while longer! Leff't Home: the garbage is out! No red shoes yet, but the week is still young! Thanks again everyone! Love, Barb

Hey Ira, I agree with your feelings about dogs...there's a reason why God spelled backwards is...DOG! Barb

Have a wonderful birthday, Diane! May wonderful things come your way! Barb

Hey Adrienne, have an absolutely wonderful birthday and a healthy, happy year ahead! See you soon. Love, Barb

Vera and Valorie, my thoughts, prayers and positive wishes are with you. Keep your faith strong and keep smiling! Barb

Wow, I forgot about those "bowling nights"! To the best of my recollection, they were always at "regulation" bowling alleys. Dave, Jim has now and always has had an incredible collection of printed t-shirts. Every once in a while he has to "purge" the collection to make way for new ones. He does, however, have his favorites! Barb

Bernie, you are so right! We saw Paulie in Taylor's band at Blossom Music Center in July. It was a wonderful show and great to see Paulie looking like he was having the time of his life! It also looks like he is developing his own following based on all of the girls going crazy over him after the show! Barb

Hi Jennifer, I hope things are going well for you and wish you the best of birthdays! Barb

Ira, Congratulations! Becoming a grandparent is God's reward for making us old! It's also one of the best feelings you will ever feel. Enjoy your new grandson! Barb

Hey Pauly, Have a wonderful birthday! It was great seeing you this past weekend. We both miss ya! Love, Barb

Julie, I agree with Diane. Everyone grieves differently and for different periods of time. Allow yourself all the time you need. No words can ever take your pain away, but, hopefully, knowing that others care and feel that pain with you will get you through. May the days to come contain more sunshine than rain for you! Barb
