  Mary's birthday isn't until tomorrow, Friday the 30th, but by the time I wish her a Happy Birthday the day will be nearly done!

  Thanks very much Laurence. I appreciate your support and kindness.
You can tell I had a huge senior moment thinking tonight was Thursday...ugh! But at the moment I am a rather sick puppy that doesn't know what day it is. Fighting a horrendous cold! Oh well, nothing like getting a head start.
Aloha,
Stan

  G'day, Stan - how are you?!! I'm SO sorry that I haven't visited your gallery in quite a while, but Phil and I often think of you over there in Hawaii!! ;o)

I really LOVE what you've done with this floral image - it is truly BEAUTIFUL...and a most wonderful birthday card and dedication for Mary, too!! :o)

** Mary, Phil and I wish you a VERY 'Happy Birthday' for tomorrow...and as Stan says, "many, many more" as well!! **

  Stan, I'm so thrilled that you remembered through the haze of your medications to even think of posting ANYthing "tonight", let alone create such a special floral image for my birthday! Thank you, my dear friend!!!

I guess this means I can start celebrating from right now all the way through to Saturday at 1:00 AM California time (since Hawaii's time is later than here)! LOL!
Thanks again, Stan, for the effort you put into this gorgeous floral. I love both versions, but those snow-white petals REALLY caught my eye before I even clicked on the thumbnail!
Now, GO TO BED! HAVE SOME CHICKEN SOUP!!FEEL BETTER SOON!!!
Aloha, Mary

  Thanks very much Paul and Mary and am very grateful for your continued support and responses.

Mary,
I don't see why not in your starting to celebrate right now and all the way into Saturday...in fact, why not Sunday too (LOL)!!! I'm only two hours behind you - 11:54 p.m. my time, 1:54 a.m. your time!
I'm off to lala land! Thanks again, my friend!
Aloha,
Stan
