 Is it October already?  Seems like I just enjoyed your September tribute!  Thanks again for celebrating the month with us, littletoyman.

 Thanks LTM; what a delight to read your monthly celebration posts!  In addition to celebrating my birthday in October, I do so enjoy the intense college football season between now and the bowl games.  This is my favorite time of the year.  Unfortunately winter follows fall - and I am definitely not a winter person!!  Hopefully this month will be the beginning of the winning season for all ST members when notification of the big prizes will end up on their doorstep, in their mailbox or email inbox.  Good luck to all.

Jeannie 

Thank You Jim:

My Husband & I have the same B-Day 10/19 but 1 year apart..... We can never have the excuse of not remembering each others B-Day. 

I've been with ST a little over 4 years now, and every day I look forward to reading your poems. I don't know how you do it, but you sure do have a gift. "and a beautiful gift at that"  Your blessed........Keep im comin !!!!!!!!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL OF THE LIBRA'S OUT THERE !!!!!!!!!

Jeannie47: I too, relish Fall weather, for it's cooler, not cold temps, and college (not pro) football. I don't build snow forts, throw snowballs, ski or iceskate so I have little use for Winter except it's ability to reduce the bug population.

bxgirl: Sorry 'bout the wrong date, I have now corrected it.   My bday is 4/16, LW's 4/29, Oldest daughter 3/15, middle daughter 3/10 and the youngest, a son 3/15, so we are also a close family.

Ok, here goes:

Happy Birthday  in my very best off-key voice and many, many more.

Happy anniversary to all and many more.  May you grow old gracefully and together.
