|dozen balloons. You should definitely diversify as to |

|shape and color of both investment types. |

|[Graphic of fireworks at left] |

|RR couldn’t get a singer, so will just put the Happy Birthday song down on paper. WordArt musical notes; the one on 2nd line looks short-stemmed on screen|

|but prints fine. |

|I tried, but I failed. |

|Kenny Rogers had a previous engagement. |

|Birthday #40 is often referred to as “hitting another milestone.” |

|Birthday #40 is often referred to as “hitting another milestone.” Knowing today was a milestone for you, but wanting to be more certain what “milestone” |

|Main Entry: mile·stone |

|Pronunciation: [pic] |

|Function: noun |

|Date: circa 1746 |

|1 : a stone serving as a milepost |

|2 : a significant point in development |

|I really like that second definition. What a wonderful place to be—at a “significant point in development.” I truly hope this birthday develops into a |

|significant celebration! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! |
