::blush::

teand!! I'm so sorry! In all the post holiday kerfuffle, I missed your birthday :-(

I hope you had a good one, with cake of course, and the wishes, though late, are still heartfelt: I hope you have a year chock-full of the really good stuff in front of you!

Reasons to love Turkey (1)

::takes deep breath::

Aaand another birthday! Happy birthday, zats_clear!! :-) Every good wish to you for the year to come - and a thank you: you brighten my day immeasurably with your captions and I really enjoy the giggles :-) In the vernacular Scots -- lang may your lum reek :-))
