Happy Birthday two days early! What a marvelous present. You will have to have it framed when you are done putting it together. Hope Robin is feeling well enough to help you celebrate. You deserve it. Have a GREAT birthday!

Happy Birthday for tomorrow! It reminded me that it's my daughter-in-law's on the 31st and spurred me into making a card--well starting it anyway! Was just gonna go buy one, but decided that would freak them if they felt I wasn't up to my card-making!
What a fab image it conjures up---Georgina in a field of daffodils! Even if Robin doesn't get out the pub, who cares when you've that precious jigsaw to do!!! Have a fabulous day tomorrow, you deserve it!
