My computer is telling me that today is architecto25's birthday.  So a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,  Arch! 

[architecto25]

Kadee, thank you very much...…

You might click on my comment to Uncle. I told him, I often wonder why they don't

refer to the day as "Birthyear";.....because every day is a "Birthday"..... LOL
