Comments:

I put my 40 years in education at Dekalb College in Atlanta, GA., retired for one week, and re-entered education as a substitute teacher...primarily in the middle school area. Am still active in photography doing weddings, seniors, families, and whatever else will pay me. Diane and I decided to leave the "problems" of Atlanta in April and we moved to the foothills of North Georgia. We have a home on 2&1/2 acres of woods near Dahlonega. Now, I'm trying to get into the school system up here. Diane runs her own marketing company with clients from all over the world. We are avid ship cruisers...just returned from the Baltic and Russia. Being in Russia was a thrill.

School Story:

Gotta' think about this.

I guess I missed the usual Happy Birthday for you. I quit the birthday thing long ago...I keep getting older...damn. But, I know how you women are so HAPPY BIRTHDAY and a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.

I quit birthdays many years ago...too depressing. But, for those that celebrate, here's hope for a Happy Birthday and great times with all your family and pets. On a different note, if you are a book reader, and I am, look up books by Susan Sands. She is a NSU grad from northwest La. Her newest book series is set in Cypress Bayou ( really it is Natchitoches). The first two were such a pleasure to read and see our town in her books.
She has a third in this series coming out for Christmas. Try the first and I think that you will be hooked.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I quit long ago with birthdays...too depressing. But in a lighter mood, where would you visit for your birthday if you had all the money, time, vaccines, etc that is your favorite from all your travels? I am really envious!

Birthdays...BAH!!!! They prove you are getting older. We need to count backwards so that we will catch up with how old we really feel. But, if not, Have A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Hope you do have a HAPPY Birthday. If you are as hot as we are, the ice cream will melt in a minute along with the cake...so eat up fast.

I quit birthdays years ago...I have even forgotten how young I am. But, IF you celebrate...Have A Happy. Did you get snow? We got six inches!!!!!! A mere dusting as Trudy, my sister, called it. But, she is in Colorado.

3/4's of a century and we made it. I've spent four hours in the garden and am feeling every moment of it. Let's wish for a few more...in the garden or at the camp. Happy Birthday!

You are almost as old as me, but at my age, I've forgotten how young I am. Have a good one, and remember that vertical is better than horizontal...well, most of the time.

Happy Birthday Lamar!
