Michael has a milestone birthday coming up in February 2018. I ran an idea past Gail that passed with approval. I have small cards that are 2.5X3.5. The idea for the card is not to say happy birthday, but you have room to put a few sentences to tell Michael why you love him, his music or how his music helped you in hard times. It’s should be big enough for a wallet size photo if you would like. Then when he’s home sitting at his desk, he can pull 1 or 2 cards to read when he has the time. Our words will be with him all year. I request a SASE, and I will send you a card. Write your note and put in your picture. When your finished, mail it back to me. For those out of the country, I checked with my postmaster and she said you can put your own postage on the return envelope equivalent to $1.15 US. Email me, Sally, at MYSCRTPSSN@gmail.com and I can give you an address to send your SASE (self addressed stamped envelope). A second option that isn’t as personal, is to email me a short note and I can cut and paste it onto a card for you. I don’t want to handle pictures this way because I’m not that computer literate and don’t want to make errors with something as personal as a picture. When all the cards are gathered, I’ll put them in some sort of decorate box. And the box of cards will be Michael’s birthday gift from us. It might seem early, but it’s something that we can work on Now through January. I’d like to be finished by February since I would need to get a box and mail it off to Michael. Your welcome to share my email with anyone you think may be interested in contributing to Michael’s milestone 65! Looking forward to hearing from you, Sally
Hi again Katharine, glad you enjoyed the quotes! I added yours to my list too. :D I’m glad you were finally able to post your comment in the right place. Sylvia has given you a bunch of links and you should definitely check out the 3rd one she gave you, because it contains hints and tips you might need. I’ve been here since the beginning so I’ve learned my way around. Mostly, you need to try things one step at a time and you learn with practice. Sylvia is pretty good with technical stuff and she’s come a long way herself. I’m mostly the self-appointed site librarian, I've been known as "Sylvie the solver" ;D and I know a thing or 2 about Michael and his career, so if you have any questions, feel free to let us know. Take care Katharine and have a great weekend. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QCCanada :D
Hi Katharine and welcome to the forum. I just read your post on the “Thread on which to wish...” thread and wanted to check where you were from. Reading your profile page, I’ve noticed you’ve started both a discussion and a blog, possibly trying to post Michael a message. The forum can be confusing when you’re just starting, I know. :D I hope Sylvia’s instructions help, but if you need more help or another perspective, feel free to leave a comment on my wall by clicking on my name/picture. BTW, I really love your quotes! :D I can tell you’re a music lover because half your quotes are from musicians! :D I have a few myself, here are some of mine:
“I live my daydreams in music.” ~Albert Einstein
“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without.” ~Confucius
“Music is an outburst of the soul.” ~Frederick Delius (composer)
“Music is love in search of a word.” ~Sidney Lanier
Hope you enjoy them. Take care sweetie and I’ll look forward to read you on the forum. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie QC Canada :D
