Thanks again, all of you!
kelly, Crais and I are doing grand. Did you know Amazon has a "4 for 3" promo going on? I added to my library with Crais, Robb and Morrell. 
No agates today, ABD.
No sand in my shoes either, Paddy. 
It may have been sunny in the Alsea Bay and on our hill, but it was foggy at the beaches -- so we didn't go. Instead we went to the garden center and picked up some pretties. Came home and Sneakers dug holes in the front yard and I planted "stepables" and several other little plants.

From checking out the weather for Waldport at weather.com, it's currently a chilly, but sunny 50 degrees with a wind chill that makes it feel like 45! (so much for the forecasted 77) Brrr.
Forecasted 77? Who said it would get that warm?
Silly weather people - can't trust a one of them. hahaha If it got to 60 today I'd be surprised. It was 48 this morning when we left for breakfast. Nice, so nice we'll pass on the heat.
Paddy, we do the opposite: head into Albany/Corvallis and wish we'd worn our summer slacks. hehehe
It's been a grand birthday. Sneakers bought me a beautiful pair of earrings with Australian opals, and my aunt and uncle called and sang to me. They are sending me money to go back to the garden center and buy something, so I think I'll get that fancy pot that was on sale. My Chinese bell plant would look gorgeous in it.
Now, I'm off to see what Sneakers is serving for supper -- besides a mess for me to clean up. hahaha
Thanks again for all the nice wishes. You folks are the best.
kimmer

Greetings from the foggy city of Waldport, OR. I can barely see across the street, but I can hear the birds in the trees -- most interesting.
Parker, the "4 for 3" at Amazon covers books, cds, movies. Go to amazon.com, click on Music and you should see an ad. On my page, it was down a bit - they kinda hide it. 
The cookies and cake were delish - and calorie free. Thanks!
I think I shared about my presents ... earrings from hubby and money for gardening stuff from my aunt and uncle.
Gregg, you're welcome. I'm sorry for your loss.
kris - I can celebrate all week. I'm old enough. I can even say I forgot what day it is. hahaha We'll pick up the pot later this morning (it's only 9:15 here) or tomorrow. It's a 40% off sale! I might get 2 pots. Flower pots that is.
