Happy Birthday, Carol!
Enjoy it with your beautiful family.
And thank you Debi for writing the poem so we could learn a little bit more about our FS friend. It's wonderful!
Smiles and hugs, Carol

Hi Carol, you wouldn't believe how many people read about someone that they may or may not have known and can identify with something they have in common. And they may not have ever known. It happens a lot more than you might guess. That is so cool,

Thanks for all the sweet thoughts and kind words, my very dear friend.
Love, Debi

Two great songs chosen here. Thank you for sharing Carol's birthday tribute with us. I am a huge fan of hers. I love the stories she's posted here. I will certainly send her a special birthday wish. And sending a huge hug to you for being our special angel.

This is so lovely. I am greatly honored to receive one of your wonderful poems. Thank you so much for fighting the photo dragon to put up the right picture. I didn't get to read his last night because I remembered today is tax accountant day and I need to be especially bright. Thank you so much for this lovely poem.

Oh Carol, I did hold my breath until I read your review and got that lovely message from you and yes, the photo dragon made me have to start all over again, but it did it again, so had to finally edit the photo and that helped. It was so kind of you to let me use it. Thanks a million for everything and of course "OUR" six stars. You are awesome!! One more thing!
A very Happy Birthday!!! Love, Debi

Thank you so much for the lovely poem. I had to turn in a bit early when I remembered I had to meet with tax accountant. It was a good outcome but took forever.

Happy Birthday to Carol! Debi, this is another well-written poem for Carol's birthday. I know Carol mostly through her well-thought-out written reviews. That's a nice picture of a good looking family. Nice job. Terry.

Happy birthday, Carol!
Debi gives us a chance to learn about you and your family. 3 adopted children! How cool is that? I understand about raising grandkids!

I'm so glad COVID drove you to us! There had to be some sort of benefit from that mess.

Love and hugs,
Rhonda

Debi dear, fantastic poem for our Carol Hillebrenner! I think we should ask Carol for proof of age! She certainly doesn't look or write like she's seventy-eight-years young! Carol's living proof of the adage,"You're only as old as you think you are!" Mind officially blown!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAROL! Please have a spectacular birthday and celebrate with those you love. I pray for many more good days ahead for you, dear one.

Love & Blessings to you both across the miles,
Sal Xoxo's

What a really good poem dear Debi, I've been reading Carol for some years, but what's the important is that you honour her with your wonderfully honouring poem, beautifully rhymed, worded and written Debi, well done, blessings Roy

Wow. In your tribute to Carol you posted two of my many favorite songs. Now they'll be stuck in my head all day (but that's okay).

I've read Carol's posts and I know she has reviewed mine. She's a wonderful member and friend to us all.

Another fine birthday post...
"Imagine" that.

Good one, sis.
John
