Comments: Happy 60th Birthday Mom! Since you told me that I could not have a real surprise birthday party for you...I decided to have a virtual surprise party for you instead! It looks like we had almost 70 guests at the party...a big success...I hope we didn't run out of 'cookies' at your virtual party! I'm sure the 'mouse' will finish whatever 'cookies' are left! Thanks for being such a wonderful mother over all the years...I'm proud of you and I love you very much! Gee, I can't wait until the big 65th birthday party...I wonder what I should do for that big birthday!?!? Todd

Comments: Great birthday page. I didn't know about it until today as I do not read e-mail daily. I didn't get you a card out either but I do have a notation in my datebook (last week) reminding me to do so. Anyway - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - I had no idea you were so very old. Must be because you're young at heart and close to my age (which is 40!). Love to you and many more birthdays - Leslie

I know Russ and family will make it a special day and what fun to get all these messages from friends. It was so great to see you in Topeka and loved the tour of your motor home and seeing your yorkies. Look forward to seeing you in Naperville and will decide what my Houseparty Helper will be and send you a form. Happy Birthday and many more.

I think you need to spend more time with the furry kids, and move to Chicago. All I hear are promises, promises....... At your age, you can't wait any longer. Stick a "For Sale By Owner" sign out in your front yard, and get on with it. You know it's going to take a year just to pack everything. You're getting old fast. You'd better jump on this. You want to move up here while you still have a few good years left. Happy 60th, and many many more..... Jackie, Jerry, and Murphy the Great

We both love miniatures and appreciate fine fabrics, and all the rest. I know we're much alike? How do I know? I'll never forget, when at a miniature show, in southern California, just a few years ago. You turned to me and whispered, oh, H--- Laurie. I can't remember what I have anymore and what I don't! I've never forgotten. Why? Because I'm in the same boat! Just don't tell my husband. Altho, he pays the bills, so-----. Have a great day! Thanks to Russ for letting me know about your birthday.
