And it continues

A knock on my door announced the arrival of this beautiful vase of flowers, a birthday gift from Gwen (Energia.)  And I received three more musical E-cards from friends, including Clare (Tookie.)  So there's no feeling of let-down after yesterday's activities.  I'm hoping the flowers will last a long time, and would appreciate any advice you might have to offer about how to do that.  Now to get on with the last quarter of my life! :-))
