Hey, Kimmy, I was suppose to start this thread!!! LOL I guess I just don't get up early enough!

Happy Birthday, Amy, my first baby, my grown up little girl (you'll always be my little girl!). I am very proud of you and how you have grown up to be a very special woman. I am not sure of where you got your love of dogs from but I am so proud of how well you are doing raising my grand dogs. All three are so well behaved and adorable. I am proud that you got them their therapy dog status and take them to hospitals, nursing homes, libraries to be read to. I love you!

Amy, Ralph and Carl are in Cincinnati today. They went down yesterday to go to a hockey game last night where her favorite Nascar driver (Tony Stewart) was suppose to drop the first puck and sign autographs. They were suppose to go to either Burbanks or Montgomery Inn - both are known for their barbecue especially ribs but since I haven't heard from anyone I am not sure what they did. I did see her before she left - she had on her Tony Stewart shirt. My son Rob lives in Cincy so he was the one that made the plans and they were suppose to stay with him all night. They are supposed to stop here on their way home - I need to get a cake baked. The dogs stayed at Ralph's parents. I am sure she will be happy to get back home to share some of her birthday with them too!
