Happy birthday to SSgtBaloo and any other June Dopers who aren’t listed in the OP. And as always, if I’ve inadvertently left anybody out or if anyone wants to wish someone else a happy birthday, just let me know.
My sister, my dad, and I celebrate birthdays/Father’s Day all on one day in June – the 19th this year. So I will drink to each of you June B’days…No! Not a whole drink! Just a sip! Happy birthday all!!!
(On a sad note, my birthday is also the 6th anniversary of my mom’s death…maybe y’all can drink one for her…)
There, there, SSgtBaloo… you can sit next to me. Would you like a drink and some cake? My b-day is the 11th (for some reason this year, I feel like my odometer is rolling over…LOL! And the big 4-0h will not be until next year).
Thenkyewverymush. On my birthday this year, I will be recovering from surgery, so I don’t now how happy it will be, but I will make a point of celebrating when I’m better!
