    Why thank you very much -- and a wonderfully peaceful and happy birthday to you! I'll always think of this house as having a little birthday cake in the kitchen and a party getting going on the back porch out of sight. :)

    Lori, I so enjoy catching up with you and your farm activities. I just love your shop pictures and I am planning to come visit you one day. I hope you have had an extraordinary birthday.

    Hello from France,
    Thank you so much for this sweet gift. A little late I wish you an happy birthday.
    I celebrated my 50th anniversary in january and I lost my sweet and beloved black cat Myrtille in february... I was (and I'm still) so so sad. Sometimes people don't understand this feeling. I know you do. When I read your blog I share a lot of things with you !
    Thank you once morefor your sweet chart.
