Thanks you guys! You know how I love these pretty cards! TK- that looks like two Mutton Eaters! So far the birthday has been pretty superb! My daughter got me a faboo keke which we picked up at the Italian bakery late yesterday. I got to watch it being decorated but my daughter would not let me have a piece until after midnight or else my wish might not come true- it is marble cake with Italian buttercream frosting and purple roses! I collect jewelry with shells on it (for obvious reasons

) and received a necklace and earring set of shells, my favorite Haley Mills movie, Summer Magic ,and gift certificates to my favorite boutique Peppergrass and Tulip in Mystic (Victorian stuff). When I got to church today my candy jar was filled with chocolate kisses and the priest had left me the sweetest round ring brooch made by a Maine artisan of obsedian and malachite. I am enjoying the ecards and phone calls especially. It is 62 degrees, the leaves are turning on the trees, there's a bottle of chilled champagne and dinner out with my daughter tonight- so the sting of being now 57 is not so bad! And it is only 11 a.m. so who knows what the day may bring. I had hoped to dine at The Lighthouse Inn in New London but it just closed for 2 weeks renovation, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, among other Hollywood luminaries used to stay there- and of course- it is haunted by the ghost of a beautiful bride who tripped down the grand staircase on her wedding day going down to the ceremony and broke her neck! http://www.lighthouseinn-ct.com/
So, that one will have to wait. Thanks for all the well wishes !

Best Wishes For A Happy Birthday, Shelley!!

(That inn has been featured on a couple programs I've seen - hope you get to visit sometime.)

Hey, Shelley! It's nice to see that you're having another birthday. (It's much better than the alternative.)

Posted: **Wed Sep 17, 2008 8:06 pm**

Hope you have the best birthday ever!!!

Happy Birthday Shelley!!

Thanks everybody! It has been a great day and at the moment I am stuffed with champagne, lobster and birthday cake and will roll into bed a year older but happier. It was so nice to be remembered today with emails and cards and phone calls. I may even decide to have another one of these birthdays NEXT year!

Happy Birthday, Shelley!

All the best!

Wishing you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY Shelley! I think Fall River should have a parade in your honor. I hope your day was special and I wish you many many many more happy ones.

Belated birthday wishes, dear Shelley!

Posted: **Sun Sep 21, 2008 10:46 pm**

Thanks Again. I still have some cake left!

Posted: **Mon Sep 22, 2008 8:01 am**

Very pretty picture of you, Shelley

Posted: **Mon Sep 22, 2008 7:54 pm**

Yes, I agree, very nice photo of you, Shelley. And I love your blouse, very Titanic era looking, is it? It so looks like something one of the ladies would wear to dinner on the ship.

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 3:08 am**

Yes, pretty picture - thank you for sharing it!

If that looks like a Titanic dress, then it might be on similar lines as a Lizbeth dress! In fact, Shell & Lizbeth Borden might be of an age in that dress if it was c. 1912.

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 4:08 am**

Shelley, That is a really nice picture of you, However if it were me there wouldn't be any cake left!!!!

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 11:42 am**

Thanks! Yes- it is a 1912 silhouette dress in black with white lace. I LOVE folks who love fashion too!

Well, this is the BEFORE cutting the cake shot! My husband gobbled up the last piece last night but my daughter will have a birthday soon so more cake is in my future, and now that I have found the dream bakery, getting older may not hurt so much.

Your picture reminded me of Valerie Harper, too.

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 12:29 pm**

Separated @ birth?

Well, no...but maybe sisters!

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 6:56 pm**

I miss 'Rhoda' - you could have played her sis, Brenda.

Great photo of you and a beautiful dress.

Posted: **Tue Sep 23, 2008 9:14 pm**

Aw.. I always loved Rhoda. Funny lady.
