I saved you guys a piece of cake ... but you'll have to share it!
#10182423
Chris Ebben June 16, 2012
Hi Lorna, I think everyone enjoyed the show as well as the party. Thanks so much for saving Debbie & I some cake, we'll gladly share. There's nothing like a BP birthday party!!! #10182906Lydia Williams June 17, 2012
Oh my gosh, I've been asleep at the wheel..well, away for a day or two....Happy B'Day, Lorna...Sorry, I missed all these awesome festivities!Heather Loewenhardt June 17, 2012
I think I missed that holding pattern. Lovely tribute to a friend and her special day. #10184365Lorna Shutter June 17, 2012
Chris ~ Glad you had a good time! :)Douglas ~ I knew you had one too many when you got up and started dancing on the table!!! LOL! :D
Lydia ~ I hope you weren't asleep at the wheel! ... That could be extremely dangerous! Don't you worry though, BP parties can go on forever! Thanks for the Happy B'Day Wish! :)
Heather ~ You didn't miss it ... The holding pattern can start whenever you want it to. For example, if you're turning 50, you can be 29 from then on! Ha! Ha! Neat, eh?! :D
#10184411
Debbie Bray June 18, 2012
Isn't it wonderful?? 29 forever!! And thank you Lorna for allowing me and Chris a piece of your beautiful scrumptious cake!

Laura E. Swan June 25, 2012
Wow, you guys! Sorry! I got asked to go back stage and I got terribly lost in between props and sets. Then I hit my head on something and woke up in WALLY WORLD for a bout a week. I am fairly sure it was a dream since it isn't nice to put Granny on the roof of the car like that.I'm so HAPPY to see all of your smiling faces here. Or is there just one of you and you are whirling around and around? I think I need to sit down.
Sister Lorna, I hope you had the best birthday EVER because you deserve it! Can you help me get this paint off of my face? I think someone back stage thought I was a stage prop after I got hit in the head...? #10200361
Chris Ebben June 25, 2012
Honestly Laura, you'd fit in well with us!! How funny, I can't stop laughing...... #10200447Laura E. Swan June 25, 2012
HeeHee....#10200471
Debbie Bray June 25, 2012
That's such a classic, Laura, I laugh EVERYTIME I see it!! The moral of the story is - Don't die unless somebody's home!! Heheheee!!! #10200486Laura E. Swan June 25, 2012
Exacallaclilly. #10200493Joannie Bertucci June 25, 2012
Ok, I'm always a day late and a dollar short! Hope the party is still doing on! After reading all these wonderful goings on I forgot what your image was Laura! :-) I have some great advise for you 29 and holding people...I've gone to 39 and holding and last year my oldest turned 40...she is now a year older than me! :-) Hope your birthday was special Lorna! #10200527Laura E. Swan June 25, 2012
I see we learned math at the same school! :D HeeHee! Thanks for a fun visit, Joannie! Lorna went to put more ice in the punch bowl but she will be right back! :D #10200558Stefania Barbier June 26, 2012
this is so beautiful Lala, and happy birthday Lorna!!! #10201521Lorna Shutter June 26, 2012

Lorna Shutter June 26, 2012
OH NO!!!!! Not again!!!!! I thought I resized it, but I guess it didn't work!!! It's a pretty picture though, isn't it?! #10201716Lydia Williams June 26, 2012
I had a BIG glass...yummy in the tummy! #10201743Lorna Shutter June 26, 2012
That's strange ... the picture of the punch bowl is small now! LOL! The BIG glass you had, Lydia, must have shrunk the bowl! Ha! Ha! For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, that picture of the punch bowl was gigantic when I first posted it! ... Just like the plate and fork ... only BIGGER!!! ... Really, it was!!! ... Either that or when you hit your head Laura, it did something to me too! ... You know, that TWIN connection thing?! Ha! Ha! :) #10201748Patrick Rouzes June 28, 2012
That is one spectacular scene to dedicate to our Lovely Lorna, Swanee!Lorna Shutter July 21, 2012
Yes, it was a good one, Patrick! ... and I'm glad you made it to the party! ... late or not! :) #10239174Laura E. Swan July 21, 2012
