July 1, 200915 yr Thanks, everyone! I thought about buying a birthday cake and eating the whole thing all by myself, but I took a nap, instead. :-)
July 2, 200915 yr Thanks, everyone! I thought about buying a birthday cake and eating the whole thing all by myself, but I took a nap, instead. :-) You know how to celebrate. Happy day.
July 2, 200915 yr Happy Birthday! How was the nap? Better than the tummyache I would have gotten from eating a whole cake! :-D
July 4, 200915 yr Thanks, all! It was a pretty good birthday and I got my nap OK. This one was a milestone, one of those that ends with a zero. The first digit is a number that's sometimes considered lucky.
July 4, 200915 yr So is this the 35th anniversary of your 30th birthday? If so, belated happy anniversary, er, b-day! :-D "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
July 12, 200915 yr Thanks, all! As resident geezer-curmudgeon and pedant, though, I must point out that my birthday was right on schedule, on July 1 as it has been every year for the past 70 years. The birthday was not belated; the greetings were. Consequently, it should not be "Happy Belated Birthday," but "Belated Happy Birthday." A heartfelt thanks for all the good wishes, just the same. It's the thought that counts! :wink: :-)

July 2, 201014 yr Indeed again! "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
July 2, 201014 yr Thanks, all! I did have a pretty good birthday; I gave myself the day off from all the family-business paper-shuffling and indulged in some much-needed self-gratification. No, not that! Dirty minds ... I rented a pressure washer and cleaned up my long-neglected patio, tended to my rapidly-growing zinnias that are just beginning to bloom, and kept busy at general outdoor tidying up under clear-blue sunny skies with a gentle, cooling breeze. In the evening I went to my grand-nephew's ball game - he's fifteen, and it was a high-school game at a pleasant baseball field in one of the outlying small towns. At his second at-bat he got beaned by a wild pitch and went down in a heap across the plate. He came out of it OK, but the impact gave him a cut on the back of his neck from his helmet. He sat out a couple of innings and then got a good, solid hit to center field that brought a runner home. They won the game 10-3. Nice relaxing evening with a small, friendly crowd.

Translation: 'I got rid of the bodies...' Happy Birthday! When people ask me how I grow such huge, lush flowers in containers, I just tell them it's all in the compost. This photo is from last fall; this year promises to be even better:
