Aww! Thank you all very much!
FS, you're doing a fantastic job with this bithday club. I could never be as organized!
for the record, I had a good birthday. I got to sit on my arse and knit all day (when we weren't shopping or eating breakfast out, that is). Nobody fought, nobody argued...it was, all in all, a very good day.
I wish that everyone could have birthdays as good as mine.
