HAPPY BIRTHDAY BINKA! The Party Theme is: TOMATOES!

[Kurovski]

Binka is a Valentine's baby! And just like those other holiday blessings--Christmas babies--she's in danger of being overlooked in the midst of all the raucous gift-giving and/or love-spreading.

That shall never do, dammit!

Come join the party and give a our Binka her birthday lovin'. It's a difficult time for her these days with Ben due to ship out to Iraq again, so don't hold back the cheer and testimonials.

I drink a toast to Binka: a fiercely loving mama with a diamond-hard tongue-and-keyboard when it comes to creative cussing!:toast:

So bring a tomato (even rotten ones, we can squish 'em in Cheney's sneering kisser) and come on in! And since you're probably wondering, I once asked Binka her secret for looking so good and she said: "Good water, good wine, and good TOMATOES."

50. Happy, Happy B-Day, Binka!

Since this thread almost killed me on dial-up, I am foregoing the posting of a tomato image, and instead will offer a daydream of eating a beautiful, heirloom tomato fresh from the garden on a hot summer day. :)

I was just thinking about you this past weekend and wondering how Ben was doing -- I am still so angry and appalled he was sent back. I hope all is well with him and your family.

Have a wonderful day, enjoy it for all it's worth!

51. Happy birthday, Binka!

My birthday wish is for your son, and all the other mother's sons and daughters to be safe, and come home to their loved ones. I know that with Ben going back, it's going to be a difficult time for you, but you both have lots of prayers said for you, and for an end to this senseless violence.
