It is stunning to realise the possibilities for writing if you are an author/poet/journalist daily working at your craft over many years. Wishing you a happy birthday on the 27th. Lucky are the few who join you on that day.

I wish you were in CT so we could meet, Willemien. Thank you for your wishes. My birthday is on 30 June, but the little celebration is in a day most people find convenient.

I have a smile on my face. Mine is also on the 30th of June - I didn't want to mention it earlier. Now there's something to think about when I raise a glass on our shared birthdays. Wow!

Ha! I have never known anyone else who has a birthday on my birthday! I will think of you on our day! Don’t you thank we have an excellent date? I love that it is right smack-bang in the middle of the year.

I agree. Thank you, Karin. And the day after, the lovely Diana's birthday.

Thank you, Toni! I would never have thought of writing about this if it weren’t for you.
