Welcome, Tom Hayes!

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. You could even send your note on a 2x3 size paper and I’ll attach it to a card. Send your picture to if you like. That would take out the SASE step.
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.
Just let me know the option that works best for you.
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 Tom, please don’t worry about it: this is not Facebook. :D I’m usually not good at instant responses myself, except for short messages. I’m really glad Ashley heard the file and I’m sure she loved it. She left me a sweet message on the birthday thread so imagined she got it, I just wanted to double-check with you in case. Take care Superdad and thank you for your message. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada :D

Hi Tom, I just wanted to let you know that I left an audio file on Ashley's page as a birthday present and hope she's able to retrieve it. It's a file I had put last year on the "birthday calendar" thread. There are also birthday wishes starting to come in for her over there. Take care Tom and have a fabulous time seeing Michael tomorrow! Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada
