You are the best! I almost had a heart attack when I saw my notifications and will get back to you all, probably in July, August, September, or sooner, hopefully! I was given a surprise party on Thursday by my wonderful family at one of my favorite Ecuadorian restaurants. Among the many guests to surprise me were my ice princess and ice hockey goalie. My husband took me to Boston for a weekend of shopping and fine dining. We both had so much fun. Today I joined another gym closer to home, had a tour, and will begin tomorrow. I needed more retail therapy for workout clothes, so spent the day shopping. Now, we are going to a belated birthday barbecue for me at a friend’s house. I just wanted to let you know I’m alive and well, and a year older, but shall return soon! Meanwhile, I hope you are enjoying this beautiful summer weather.

@lnillerman Thank you, but why do you sometimes pray for me? It's not that I don't appreciate your prayers.

But really you are not a year older, only a day older than yesterday. It makes me feel better when I think of it in those terms I'm glad you had such a good time.

Happy Happy Birthday! I'm glad you had fun and retail therapy. Joining a gym is a plus, though you do get a lot of walking in normally. Did you join a fitness chain? Have fun at the gym and the barbecue. It's beautiful weather here too. We could use more rain though.

@just4him It did rain overnight, this morning, stopped for the afternoon, and is raining again. Our lawn is too large to water, and we are sorry we didn't put in a sprinkler system now but don't want to rip up the lawns to do it now. Thank you! However, I am out of shape. My aches and pains are proof.

Thanks, Gary. No guinea pig, but my husband had the duck which was delicious. I had a filet mignon and soft-shell crab. They did have Dover sole, which I was considering. Next time we are in Boston, we will return.

@DianneN When I was growing up I used to like to celebrate my birthday 7 days. Now, I will celebrate it two or three times. I took a friend out for her birthday and we went to this very nice place by the Old City. We wanted it close so we could go to the Kotel after. The food was great. For my birthday we will go to a Burger place in the Old City so we can go to the Kotel again. It was really fun. Now, I can say we are in summer. I think we skipped spring this year. Enjoy all your celebrating. Happy Belated Birthday my friend.

@Hannihar I know the Hebrew calendar is different from ours. I will think of your birthday as August 1st! We don't have discounts either for our birthdays here, but a huge burger and side of huge fries sounds terrific to me! I would love that any time of year.

Thank you! You seem to celebrate your birthday in a fun way, several times, just like me. Yes, spring wasn't quite spring, but it sure has been a beautiful beginning to summer. When is your birthday?

@DianneN My English birthday is August 1st and I can celebrate it this year. My birthday last year fell exactly on Tisha B'Av and my way of celebrating was fasting. Usually it falls during the 3 weeks leading up to Tisha B'Av. I love when it is not during the 3 weeks or on Tisha B'AV. My friend that I took out for her birthday is taking me out but we do not have discounts here for our birthdays. We are going to eat at a place called Burger Bar. They have huge Burgers and huge fries. It is in the Old City and we are going to the Kotel too. Thanks for saying I celebrate mine in fun ways. One year I went to town and celebrated it and took all kinds of pictures and did something on it. Our weather just sort of went into winter. When the forecast said clear and hot I knew it was summer and not winter anymore or whatever that was. My Hebrew birthday is probably in August too. It is different dates each year.
