thank you everyone, i was out all day, (breakfast out, and then a trip to an arboritum, and then dinner out.. ) and i has a party yesterday (complete with balloons, confetti, and sprinkle covered cup cakes (with pots of kitchen herb to take home as present.. savory, basil, parsley, thyme, marjoram.. good cooking this summer!)

you'll notice from my profile, i am holding strong, and still 47-- i intend to remain 47 a couple more year, too!
