Happy Birthday, Rosie. "Chirp, Chirp!"

Just before and then after shaving, this morning, I took a series of Happy Birthday, Rosie, photos in the bathroom of my apartment. Like Rosie, spring is my favorite time of year. Yester morning, on the eve of spring, I telephoned friends and family members and when they answered the phone I began by saying "Chirp, chirp. Chirp, chirp!". Which is how I also greeted folks in the building's laundry room yesterday.

"Chirp, chirp ... spring has finally sprung!".

March 21 is not just the first full day of spring, it's also Rosie's forty-fifth birthday.

Also, when Rosie was asked what she wanted for her birthday, she said "PLEASE NO PRESENTS, JUST DONATE TO MY CHARITIES!!" So we're passing the message along.
