These are our greetings to you!

This is not a greeting to Ramona, but from Ramona. What a wondrous and surprising way to get lots of loving good wishes! It's even better than having everybody joining in for a rousing rendition of the traditional song. It has been a very good birthday. It started early and is still going. The only not-so-good things that happened were the garage door going crazy opening and closing without any rhyme or reason. Sometimes it would go up and down without stopping, then it stops in the middle and reverses, and sometimes it won't do anything at all! The other thing was forgetting my "doggie-bag" at the Greek restaurant where we had a scruptious meal. On the positive side, besides phone calls, cards and e-mail wonders, I met with fellow-writers, line-danced and got my living room painted by my resident expert painter. And I found a twin; someone I line-dance with. Thanks to all of you who contributed to the birthday page. All the words, the pictures and the work done in the wee hours of the morning (Mark) are hugely appreciated. It will keep me going for at least another year. My love to you all. The Birthday Girl

 happy birthday mom! It's wonderful to be close to you in every sense at such a vibrant time of your life. You are truly an inspiration to try new things and keep working on the old. Your writing and drawing delight me, and your home cooked meals ain't bad either. All my very best. Chick number seven.

 They all think you are the greatest, but I know it. This brings back all the goodness of things past and I am so grateful for all of it. But the rest of the world is wrong, the world does not "need more love" because it is all here for you and you share it so well. Have a happy birthday

 Yo! Mama! I think it is safe to say that without you none of this would have been possible. I trust the next sixty-nine years will be as fruitful and productive as the last sixty-nine. Oops. I hope that wasn't a secret number. Have a great day, from all of us...

 Happy birthday, mom. We both can celebrate this day. If this day never happened, then I would never have happened. And then where would I be? Thank you! Or do I thank your parents? Or their parents? This gets too complicated. I hope you find wonderful things to do (and say, and eat, and think) today, and wonderful people to do them with. I love you mom. Happy Birthday!

 A beautiful harvest moon and clear blue October skies herald the birthday of a key element in the Stylos Clan. This e-mail is a kick, tho we'd love to celebrate Ramona's birthday with a cookout and singalong. Our summer visit at the cabin with so many of you was great. Save up those FF miles and we'll see each other again soon. Love and hugs to all. Patsy and Ken
