I love all the party hats for cats, and how appropriate that the woman is wearing a crown. She is definitely the queen of her clowder and family. Long live the Queen!
Happy birthday, Georgia! And happy birth-giving day to the Nana! So grateful to all who had a hand raising the girl into such a spectacular woman!! And so very grateful to The Man for loving, and encouraging her to be her best self!! And thanks to the kids who love her and keep her on her toes! And to her 3& 4 legged buddies, thanks for giving her so much love and ideas for her stories!! Georgia, may you realize the desires of your heart, enjoy prosperity, joy, love, peace and good health this and many more years to follow. Thank you!!!
(Nah. 40 is nothing. And you’re only as old as you think. If you need confirmation / encouragement, I’d suggest “Goin’ Back” by the Byrds or “Forever Young” by Bob Dylan or Joan Baez. Oh, and maybe the book “I’ll Mature When I’m Dead” by Dave Barry.)
Happiest of birthdays Georgia. Thank you for all your creativity and your wonderful characters. Looking forward to the little pirate joining the crew. x
A very Happy Birthday to Georgia! ღƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♡ƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ♪ Beautiful and talented artist! ⭐ https://pics.me.me/amireally-40-years-old-today-or-should-i-stay-89-23238520.png
Happy Birthday, Georgia! May the year to come be filled with blessings and laughter for you and yours!
When I turned 50, I told my friends I wanted luau-themed decorations instead of crows and tombstones because it was a miracle I’d survived that long! Turns out I was right: when I hit 50, it hit back!
Happy Birthday Georgia!! Hope your 40th is as good as mine was. I drove schoolbus at the time and had a late route. My 12 year old daughter asked to take the city bus home saying she had a lot of homework and wanted to get an early start on it. When I got home.. Surprise!! My daughter and her best friend had decorated the house and had a neighbor bake a birthday cake! Best birthday ever!!!
It’s hard having a birthday just after a major holiday. One of my brothers was born just after Christmas. It’s a tough comparison when it’s time to open the presents, if any.
Hoppy Birdie Two† Mews! Here’s to the next eight lustrums!
Georgia, in view of the current world situation, the Mongol Birthday Dirge will not be solemnly intoned in your honor, unless Robin does it, but doom is his province.
Forty is when you give up the follies of your youth—for the follies of a “mature” person. (Hint, they are little different from the follies of youth …)
Georgia Happy Birthday to the young and wise one. Right now I am surrounded by snoring Great Danes but when I get home it will be one Great Dane and many sleeping cats. I can relate to a wonderful day of napping even if I’m not the one doing the napping.
In honor of Georgia and all the other Birthday Celebrants this week, I’ve made lemon cake … in the real world, I haven’t frosted it yet, but in the virtual world it is beautiful and ready to cut: who’d like a slice?
There is also ice cream and some very good low-fat fudge sauce, courtesy of the American Heart Association’s Low Salt Cookbook.
Happy Birthday Georgia! I’m so glad I discovered Breaking Cat News and you? It chases the covid blues away every day. I can’t wait for the next book. 40 is just the beginning.
What, no “Over the hill” joke gift to go along with that coffin balloon? Maybe something like a cane decked out with a rearview mirror, a bike horn, a headlight (basically just a small flashlight), a reflector (or a tail light on the same idea as the head light), a small battery operated fan, and a cup holder.
On of my sisters used to do an over the hill gift basket for some of the women she worked with for when they turned forty or so. She’d take and clean out her empty prescription bottles (by clean out I mean soap and water to make sure there was no residue from her meds inside) and refill them with various candies then put her own labels on them to make new “over the hill meds”. Like “Hot Flash Pills” would be some kind of cinnamon candy as the “pills” (Mike and Ike Red Hots, Cinnamon Imperials, Cinnamon Jelly Belly jelly beans for instance). She’d give them like four or five different candies that were “pills” with a joke description of what it was for and then there would be other joke items like a sleep mask with googly eyes and a syringe ink pen. Come to think of it, she stopped giving the joke basket around the time she herself turned forty.
Welcome to the 40’s. We have cookies on our side. It is a good age despite the difficulty level for standing from squatting being raised. Happy Birthday!!

As I’m not as good with words as I wish myself to be, I “wonder” if I can say it with Stevie:
You know coffin balloons don’t make much sense
There ought to be a law against
Aging but who takes offense?
At a day in your celebration ’cause we all know in our minds
That it’s ought to be now time
To say “Well Dunn” for your light
To show just how much we love you
And I’m sure you would agree
What could fit more perfectly
Than to nap and a world party on the day you came to be
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you

And there is no ceiling
Family and friends, there is no end just a beautiful dream
You’re here today
No future fears
This joy will last
A thousand years

You look around you
Things they astound you
So breathe in deep
Feel free to sleep
And you will find
…….
You’re here today
No future fears
This joy will last
A thousand years
If you want it to…….
Do you understand that all over this land there’s a feeling?
Two, three, or four feet they’ve all come to greet you and your new day!
…….
Now that you’re knowing
The joy just keeps growing
We all can see, it’s great to be, give thanks each day
You’re here today
No future fears
This joy will last
