Happy Birthday, Aine! Hope it's all sunhsine and roses!

This birthday thing is like a Mexican Wave! (Kendal and IanB on the 9th, Jeannie on the 10th - who's for the 11th?) And there seems to be a lot of Taurans in Mudcat. I make no further comment ...

Happy Birthday, Aine,

Heres a toast to the Goddess in Texas
A glass of greek brandy Metaxas
Both are fiery and red
Take you out of your head
Like a punch in the Solar Pelexus

dear awchee...if you'd a done this just s few days earlier ya could have shared a birthday with my daddy who just turned 85...but its okay...close enough to explain in yet another way (as if we need any 'xplainin') why i love you so much

happy birthday....mehitabel

Happy Birthday to you, too, Lucy!!

(BTW, Morticia...I spoke with her last night and she sounded 200% better than she has over the past few months. She'd been to the doctor who was really happy at how well her back is doing and she is finally going to be able to start physical therapy. She's already been walking; see her new thread about her Epiphany to see where she's gotten to with her new gee-tar! She's doing good!)

Áine, (at the very, very, very, least) you bring much happiness to one corner of the Internet.

People from all over the world visit that corner and drink up that happiness.

When they (eventually) leave that corner of the and reenter the world of 3-d space (they have to, eventually, at least in theory), they can't help but spread that happiness to others they meet.

And those they meet spread that happiness even further... And people who are happy are people at peace.

So, it is not too big a stretch to say that:

A Happy Birthday for Áine is a Happy Everyday for the World !!!

From: Áine

Thank you, thank you, thank you all for your birthday felicitations!! I've had a wonderful day, even with my (almost) disastrous attempt at changing my hair colour (see this thread!

I got permission to take the credit card and go shopping for myself!! You fellow parents know what a wonderful and fantastically guilt-free experience this was! I bought black lingerie (ooohhh!!), shoes, a handbag, a really cool cowboy hat (I'm a REAL Texan, remember?), and a push-up bra (OK, so the famous ya-yas don't need anymore help, but all my other ones were worn out - Spaw and Amos, behave!) I got my hair cut and styled (this led to the impulsive hair colouring episode). The good news is that after years of wearing my hair very, very short, I am growing it out. Dear Hubby (and Amos) are very excited and happy at this. We'll just see how long I stand it -- not being a woman given to glamourizing herself, don't ya know ;-)

I got happy birthday phone calls from my dear darlin' eldest son and Amos (who sang to me, of course). And the biggest surprise - a birthday card from my sister, whom I haven't spoken to in three years. She's actually invited the whole family to come and visit her in Austin this summer. Talk about being gobsmacked! If getting a year older leads to healing the wounds between us, then bring on the AARP!

You all mean so much to me. And after the hellish year I've had, just making it to my birthday without any pain, with a good report from the back surgeon, a garden that's taking care of itself and growing all kinds of funky native plants, and most important, the kindness, advice, help and love from all you wonderful Mudcatters, has made this the happiest year of my life.

Ya know, Dear Hubby suggested this morning that we should celebrate by hosting a Mudcat Gathering here at Moon on the Hill. Amos had suggested the same last night on the phone, but I hadn't mentioned to Himself yet. Great minds, eh? Well, what do you think? It would have to be in the cooler part of Texas season, say early Fall? Let's think on it, OK? I'll just say that you won't go hungry or thirsty -- just ask Amos.

Here's a big group hug and snog for you wonderful, fantastic friends that make 'surviving' in this world such a happy, happy experience.

Holding you all in my heart, Áine (the still Redheaded Gaelic Goddess)

Ah, Mudcatters all, if you go seeking thrills
To the old Texas oaks 'round the Moon on the Hill,
Where the grub is fantastic, the Guinness is free,
And the music entrancing -- take warning from me.

If you go down to Dallas, to Moon on the Hill
Some pleasure to find and a weekend to kill
Warn all of your loved ones, including your wife
You'll be leaving your heart there for the rest o' your life!

You'll be dreaming of bluebirds in the cool Texas dawn
Of bottomless mugs and of sweet endless song
Of bluebelles and roses and ya-ya's in mind,
And your feet may come home with your heart left behind!

So don't say I didn't warn ya!! LOL!
