.......the new day arrives in Northern Ireland at least five hours before y'all get it, so I can be first to say..........

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZIPPER-JOAN

Have a real good day when it arrives in California, and have a glass of red wine on me.

Wow..Billy..Since I'm of Irish heritage I lift that glass of Merlot to you with many thanks for your thoughtfulness!!! I can celebrate early with you, my friend. ;-)

Now Ross, I think you're more of a teddy bear than a rat *~* Thank you for that splash of color and wishes!

Lady Zipper- Joan

Hi Johnny, Gail, and Gina

Hi Johnny, Gail, and Gina

Thank you all..I have missed so many birthdays and don't post as often as I'd like..only 'cause I don't have that much to offer! I am surrounded by heart disease (my husband/5 brothers-in-law/one sister-in law) but I'm the only 'VALVIE'..the named me 'Zipper').

Johnny..one of these nights I'll chat with you when you're up late. Thank you for the wishes for a happy da!

Gail..so you're as sweet as your picture..I thought so when I first saw you..thanks so much...I'll be sure to enjoy 'my' day!

Gina..I'll have that Merlot for you...no problem..LOL! Actually this past Sunday I shared the pre-birthday day with friends and after our 'outing'(eating/shopping) we watched the 'Niner/Giant' game...and....drank a 'bit much' Merlot...lol! I was surprised to see my INR at a perfect 3.0 yesterday! Must've eaten all the right (wrong) foods while celebrating! Thank you for your best wishes!

I just have to add what a wonderful group this is!!!! I've belonged to another board that has 'no where near' the compatability I've felt here. I'd love to make it to a reunion and meet everyone possible....maybe this year!

Thank you friends...I'll be having fun tomorrow celebrating my birth, friends, family and the chance to still be doing just that!!

P.S. Thanks for not asking my age..LOL!! I'm 63 years young tomorrow. Mom of 4...Grammie of 4. My avatar is 4 years old...taken 7 months after my surgery.

Cheers to all,

Zipper/Joan

Gotta do the California 'kewl' thing..LOL..my twin sons are surfers!

[Zipper]
