January 18 must be an auspicious day for baby girls who will grow into strong women to be born. My daughter-in-law is turning forty-three today and is an accomplished fabric artist and terrific mother to sons. May she have a grand year full of love and learning.
Two of my flist are also celebrating birthdays.
megan29 is a regular at our parties and an excellent writer. May she have a year with more time to do the things she enjoys. My other friend,
pennylane_4, is more elusive but is a supportive friend and I wish her a year of accomplishment and affection.
