And it’s a BIG Birthday, too!
She’s an absolute treasure. A wonderful author, someone who’s succeeded at marriage for over 57 years, and always a warm, positive presence here at BC.

Take a bow, PATRICIA MARIE ALLEN! Or maybe a curtsy. :) Happy 80th to you! May your pantyhose never sag, and your nighties never tangle!!!

Happy birthday!
Growing old sucks - but the alternative is no better, lol.

Getting old isn't for wimps
You gotta be tough to get old. Weaklings and wimps don't last that long, You know you're getting old when you get together with your friends or sibling and the main topic of discussion is current and/or persistent ailments.

Happy Birthday!
What exactly are "many happy returns?"
Love, Andrea Lena
That's EASY, 'Drea!
It's when you buy a drop-dead gorgeous dress for an event, and the store's got one of those 24-hour return policies, just in case it doesn't fit right. So, you go to the soiree, dressed to the nines and feeling like Margot Robbie, and the next day, well . . . .

Thanks
Returns, I hope, means that there's more to come and this won't be the last one.

Thanks Emma
And thank you all for the good wishes. I'm now an octogenarian. I'm beginning to feel a bit like George Burns. He was fond of saying, "At my age I'm just happy to be anywhere."
He also said, "If you live to be one hundred, you've got it made. Very few people die past that age." I'm working on that one. George made it to 100 before he died. If a cigar smoker can do it, so can I.
