Guys- Again, thanks for all the well-wishes. My bosslady took me out to eat lunch, & then had a cake for me around 3, which we shared w/everyone in the office. Then, my family Lauriann, & Miss Bethany took me out to eat at The Little Dutch in Morristown. Bethany had got me ANOTHER cake, which we had at The Little Dutch, & then we came on home. Bethany, of course, "big-dealed" me into lettin' her drive most of the way home-You remember how much fun it was to get to drive ANYWHERE when you were 15...Lauriann got me that Freshman Masterpiece last weekend. All in all, it wasn't a bad birthday...an' the thing of it is, turnin' 50 IS the Pits, but it STILL beats the alternative...NOT turnin' 50...<grin>
