44 years full of good days

Once upon a time, I wore this dress:

My forever-thanks to my Mother and my Father for a great start to this wonderful life that I have been gifted with. Thanks too to my brother, my extended family, and a lifetime's worth of friends and companions who have helped me celebrate all of the past birthdays and this one too.  Most especially, my heart-full/soul-full thanks to my husband Steve and to our two boys: you fellas have sweetened my life far more then I could have ever imagined possible.  I love it all.  Life is good.
