A Very Happy Birthday to a Very Special Person . . .

At the risk of being boastful (which I dislike intensely), I'm compelled today to jump right out there and scream to the world that I have the BEST daughter-in-law in the entire world!!  All you other mothers-in-law should envy me, because I couldn't have written the specs for a better DIL than Lara.  It's actually uncanny how well we get along, and we have a hard time convincing some people that we aren't really mother and daughter because we enjoy one another's company so much.

So, to the matter at hand - today is this remarkable lady's birthday . . . and although I never sing "Happy Birthday" (especially to the ones I love & don't want to kill with my markedly UN-dulcet tones),  I think it's safe to do it like this without causing any major damage.
