Ahh, those fluffy things look just like little baby Maddy doggies!

Hi BBB. This is the perfect thread for your birthday, being that it is from your daughter.

You might have noticed that I didn't bring along Osso's Normandy Peach Tart. It stays on MY thread, not that it will last long.

Trouble is it takes me about a half hour, or more, to find the perfect torta or tart photo and by then I've read four or five food blogs and am starving.

Butryflynet, yep, they're wee bichons..

I posted this on Diane's thread already. Happy Birthday, bBb.

Happy Birthday BBB!!! So, what are some of those accomplishments that Diane mentioned on the other thread?

Among many important differences BBB has made are the little tabs on grocery store shelves that show price per oz.

Wonderful work in labor unions, early feminist work.

The list goes on for a long, long, way.

Happy Birthday BBB!

And what interesting people share the day with her.

(Must have been something in the water the previous mid-October for all of them.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BBB!!!


I hope you made the most of your special day.

Happy birthday, all the very best and ... 'ad multos annos'!

Oops, I'm a day late. Hope it was a happy one!

Happy Birthday, BBB.

Happy birthday!
