A very Happy Birthday Gunnie. At this rate you might catch up to me and Cliff, since we are not having any more B-Days. :-)
I must add that you wear your age very well indeed.!!

So, let's see here...you'll be 64 when I'm 40....kinda puts things into perspective, huh?
Don't worry, I'm just kidding....Happy Birthday, and remember, as the years go by, you're allowed to sit on the porch wearing Bermuda Shorts, black socks, and sandals without being made fun of. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Gunnie!!
At least you got there first. It will be me in 4 months.
Yeah and for all you younger pups out there.... You think 40 is old at 16, 23, 30?? Ha!! Blink a few times and it will be you before you know it.

Wow! Thanks 'Tread and everyone!
I had a great 40th Birthday and wonderful weekend. Saw a lot of old friends and even got to build models yesterday afternoon with my Best Man from our wedding nine years ago.
I had such a good time - I'm finding it really hard to return to responsibility this morning - which is why I'm still on site instead of working!
Guess I'll have to ease myself back into work, don't want to overdo it...
