Very fun seeing all those smiling faces. I was having fun trying to guess who the ones were that I didn't recognize. Hope you had a great birthday.

Happy Birthday, Shuna Fish!
Just one question... wasn't Mirth the name of Mork and Mindy's over-grown son who hatched from the egg and who's name was a conglomerate of the words Mork, Mindy, and Earth?
Only someone in our age group would know this.
Congratulations on having a great birthday and cheers to many more.
Nanoo Nanoo!

OH MY GOSH!
i am just getting settled back in from my visit. what an incredibly fun time i had! i thank you so very much for having a birthday (a reason to travel!) introducing me to such incredible people, and inspiring me all over again!
i have decided that if it is pretty this weekend, i am planting my veg garden; if not, i am taking a cue from the dave-shuna kitchen and REORGANIZING everything, and making cookies for friends! (i'm working up to english muffins!!!!)
brown sugar kitchen was absolutely phenomenal! i give a hearty southern thumbs up to the grits and biscuits...
and i am having delicious blue bottle coffee every morning, even getting up a little earlier to french press it.
what a wonderful week. Thank you thank you thank you!
40 looks great on you! mas mirth por favor!!!!
xo
