Well, faithful blog readers, today is my 68th birthday and the best gift for me is that we’re all still here.
I am celebrating this incredible feat of mutual survival, here and now, by sharing my latest images.















The Daily Bitch Calendar does it again, because later today Michael and I (and maybe Mr. Harley) will be dancing.
I just searched “Happy birthday Groundhog Day” and found this from a few years back in Punxsutawney:
Thanks to all who help me celebrate this day and every day, including YOU.

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays!! all the best
Thank you and see you tomorrow!
Happy Birthday Ann, and many more of them!
Many thanks!!
Happy Birthday Ann. May 2021 be your best year yet! All my best, stay safe.
Thanks for making my days happier, JoHanna!
Happy Birthday Ann. I shall have double helpings of cake in your honour!
I have double helpings of gratitude for you!
Hope you have an amazing day Ann! Happy Birthday!!!!!
It was amazing, my amazing friend!!
Happy birthday,Ann. That is an awesome cake.
Happy, happy birthday, my friend! Though the groundhog tries to steal the limelight on this day, you’re the one who puts him in the shade! ❤
Thanks, Maureen and Janet!
I love Michael’s dish and Harley’s wisdom. Happy birthday, and your blog is great!
Thanks for another great and lovely comment, Maria.
I believe that it’s not a birthday celebration without lots of chocolate.
We share many beliefs, my friend!
Happy Birthday! Eating chocolate and dancing are perfect ways to celebrate, and being Groundhog Day, you’ll get to do it again! Have fun. Big hugs all around.
Reading this fun comment is a perfect way to celebrate! Hugs back at ya.
Happy Birthday, Ann!
Thank you so much!
Happy Birthday
Thanks for the birthday love!
Happy birthday and happy 2021! I hope you don’t need rescuing from all that chocolate.
The BEST, Christopher!
And I don’t know if you are aware of this, but the wonderful Tommy Smothers was also born on Groundhog Day.
Yes, I regard every day I cast a shadow to be a great one! Happy 68th Birthday, Ann! May you cast shadows many, many years more!
We will both be casting great shadows, my friend!
very happy birthday, ann. may it be the best day (and cake) ever!
It was and is and thanks for making my days happier, beth.
More weeks of winter is the least of our worries! Hope you had a fabulous day Ann 💕💝🎉💃🏻💕
I did, my fabulous friend! <3 <3
Happy Happy Birthday Ann – I think I will have to have some cake in your honor!
Please do! <3

Thanks for the gift!
I am glad you celebrated your birthday in style, my wonderful friend Ann. Happy day after to you!
Thank you, my wonderful friend Mark!
I missed this post, so I missed that it was your birthday. Late happy birthday!
I’m celebrating all week long, so thanks for joining the celebration, Trent!
Happy Belated Ann! May the good wishes carry you through the year! xoxo
Thank you for your good wishes, my friend!
It looks like you had a very celebratory birthday! I hope it was indeed wonderful. My parents’ anniversary was February 2, and my mom tells the story of not knowing it was Ground Hog’s Day until after they’d been married a couple of years. I think that’s funny!
I love that your parents were married on that special day, Debra!
