Happy B-Day, Mrs. D.
You’re a fine woman, and a true warrior to have dealt with a couple of Bears like Aaron and Mr. D all of these years. Aaron is a lucky guy to have such a stand-up mom.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Draplin. Good job with the child out here in Portland. I miss seeing you and the other man in your life at the Polka Fest. Have a great summer.

Happy Birthday Mom!

You’re awesome!
Sarah

Oh yeah, Ahnee, what did you buy our wonderful momma for her birthday?

Thanks to all of you kind folks for the birthday greetings; you know how hard it is for me to admit the age…….Aaron actually had it wrong, accusing me of being a year older than I really am (as if it wasn’t old enough).

The song, loosely titled ‘boobs & buns’, is a classic…..I’ll never forget those two angelic little girls next door singing it to me several years ago…..

Kurt, you want to know what Aaron bought me for my birthday? Not really sure, maybe it’s in the mail……but, I guess his love is all I really need. His love and devotion and respect and his endless friendship…..not too much to ask…..

Roderick: sorry we won’t see you at the polka fest this year, we had a great time talking to you & sharing a few beers a few years back; looking forward to all who show up at this manic affair - Aaron’s dad has a connection with the bartenders……he’ll buy you a beer.

Thanks Melissa…..

Thanks Sarah…..

Lauren-

Just wanted to shout out a giant Happy Birthday to you. Megan and I need to get out to see you and Jim again. Tip an cold Heineken, y’know. It’s been too long. You’ll be astounded at Hannah’s growth. We’ll swing out soon. Keep well,
Eric

Happy B-day Mrs. D.,
You’ve raised your son right. He’s a great designer, interesting character, and a good friend. Only a warm mom could help produce that.

Peace and Harmony,

MAN-iotes, You forgot “handsome”, “charming”, “supernatural”, “bitchin’”, “cosmopolitan”, “diamond in the rough”, “straight-shooting”, “well-endowed” and “not afraid to take a punch.”

Thanks.
