Hi. I've begun commenting again, and will get to all of you in the coming week: a promise. But today is the Birthday of my very, very dear friend, Ana (anaber). I'm so sorry that my end-of-week got so loaded with family and other matters that I won't be able to finish my dedi until the weekend. But I wanted you all to know it's Ana's birthday! She's one of our very best, and a dear, dear soul to all who love her... A blessed day to you, Ana. You deserve it more than you know. I'll be back very soon, Mark (these are birds visiting an 'oasis': Visiting birds have a special meaning to Ana---they're magic, joyous and harbingers of peace. Much peace to you, Ana.) I'm turning off comments till I post the full dedi. Then you can wish Ana a wonderful birthday! I'll be back tomorrow...
