Thank you, Danke, Grazie, Merci, Arigato, Gracias, Tak, ...

I did have to work - but the evening was lovely. A beautiful late afternoon drink on the deck, followed by a very nice dinner, then dessert with hubby and Pinot on the deck. We don't exchange gifts, really, we have all we need, so we just exchange a wonderful evening-I'll take that!

I got the best present of all, though; my brother had his second hip replacement surgery on the 6th - AND HE'S HOME THIS AFTERNOON!! I'm so glad - he's been through H*LL!! I hope he continues to improve.

As I said - thank you all for the wishes; it means a lot.
