And She Thought She’d Be Sad…

by Farley

While I sort through pictures and notes to catch up on my writing, this seems like a good time for some heartfelt gratitude.

I want to thank everybody for such a fantastic birthday that it nipped all that ‘woe is me’ mess in the bud. For the kind comments here on my blog. For my family and friends’ sweet messages from home. For the amazing people and the too-fun-for-our-own-good party in Missoula (not to mention the crawfish and dancing). And lastly, for the party here in CA with its tropical decorations, the leis galore, my own freely flowing Sangria, good food, and well, I could have skipped the embarrassing cake, girls (and there better not be any pictures popping up). Oh yeah, and for the thoughtful presents, many of which will help me in bringing more information to you, readers and drinkers.
