Hippo birdie Sam! Hope you have a great day. Jay  :)
Her finely-touched spirit had still its fine issues, though they were not widely visible. Her full nature, like that river of which Cyrus broke the strength, spent itself in channels which had no great name on the earth. But the effect of her being on those around her was incalculably diffusive: for the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.

Aha! A fellow LEO! GRRRRRRRR!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAM!

You have a most adorable smile! After due recovery from my own foray into the birthday realm, it is time to administer the ever-popular BIRTHDAY SWATS!

Let's see if the "vertical smile" is as adorable as the one in your photo!  ;D

BIG HUGS,

Sam, contrary to rumor you did NOT make the pants too long. They're just the right size and so are you today.

So happy birthday and many happy returns of the day.

THANKS EVERYBODY!  I WAS (AND AM) A LITTLE DOWN TODAY, FOR VARIOUS REASONS, BUT I FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW!  I'M SCREAMING BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE FONT DIFFERENT COLORS, ETC. 

I'm glad to be a part of your family.  You all give me a lot of inspiration and hope, and help to keep me feeling sorry for myself.  It really means a lot to me.  Thanks again!

Love,
