Today is my birthday

First, thank you to all of you who wished me a happy birthday. You are wonderful friends and family. Remember, though, birthdays aren't just celebrated on one day -- it's my birthday week!



The next excerpt is taken from the NY Post Columnist Sally Brompton. It is my horoscope for the year:

----------

August 25, 2007 -- You won't lack for self-belief over the coming 12 months, nor will you keep your talent under wraps. Even if you are the sort of Virgo who usually prefers to hang back in the shadows the lure of the spotlight will be too strong and before you know it you will be center stage. It's where you belong.

----------

Alrightty then, bring on the spotlight!

Today was absolutely beautiful. It was around 75 degrees all day long which made mowing a breeze. I made it to Amboy's Depot Days, but was late for the parade. So, Rochelle and I went to the Longbranch and shared a drink with some good friends. From there, we picked up the dogs and went to the Franklin Creek State Park. It is a wonderful area that I had no idea existed -- quite beautiful and not too far away. From there, we grabbed a Dairy Queen and parked next to the river in Dixon to watch the flood waters crash on by. It was a good day ... now for the rest of the birthday week! :) FYI, the above portrait of Farley was taken at the Franklin Creek State Park; he's definitely getting bigger.

Happy Birthday to you! Happy Birhtday to You! Happy Birthday, Doogie Howser-esque photographer . . . Happy Birthday to you! Oops! Sorry. You're quite unDoogie-like. More cool, but just as accomplished.

The photos on your site are GREAT! So glad Mr. John mentioned your blog. The search first took us to your photography site, now here.

We had a great time with you and your loveLEE lady at the Long Branch. Hope we didn't make you too late to get good photos.

Glad you went to the Franklin Creek State Natural Area . . . and enjoyed it. Hope to see you two again soon.

PS: Mr. John's birthday is in August, too.
