Thank you all! I am working my way through all the piles of birthday potluck food! Have to keep eating! Drinking! Applying insect repellent!

Happiest of birthdays to you, Beth, wonderful aesthete, kind person & poster of my all-time favorite thread, "My Secret Vise."

Aha! So that's where Abbott developed her crush on Beth.

Happy Birthday. Your posts are among the tops of tops. The stones make me want to paint even more.

I'm wishing you a belated birthday, Beth! You rock - and so does your thread with all the beautiful rocks. :)

I'm also wishing you a belated happy birthday, Beth. I was away and couldn't post before. I'm sorry the vicious insects drove you to an early end to your party.

Thank you! The birthday festivities continue, because—get this—we got so wrapped-up in the party that we FORGOT ABOUT THE BIRTHDAY CAKE. It was supposed to be taken out of the freezer an hour before eating, but it was bedtime by the time we remembered it. So we have to have another party! It's a fabulous cake with four layers of different kinds of chocolate and mousse. A chef we know makes them as a side-line. I ordered a giant one for my husband's 50th and covered it with raspberries. Num num num.

Oh no, damn having no internet at home. HAPPY HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY BETH!! Glad you had a fabulous par-tay.
