Thank you all for the birthday wishes in this thread. I couldn't have asked for a nicer treat than to receive them, PMs and emails as well.
We're really not too much into birthday celebrations as such but we did go out for a birthday lobster dinner last night. I hate going out to dinner on St. Patrick's Day since too many places feature corned beef and cabbage which is NOT a favorite worth going out for as a birthday treat, and for sure, not when my daughter cooks it, complete with homemade Irish soda bread.
Again, sincere thanks.
