So, how's the recovery going for the rest of you? Jet lag has hit me hard and my mind is spinning with experiences that keep me energized and awake when I should be sleeping. I just don't want to let go of any part of celebrating 14 in 14.
The Saskatchewan Seven threw a perfect party and the spirit of togetherness made wonderful things happen for me at every turn.
I got a little bit of a head start on recovery, not having to travel home but I'm still tired and missing everyone. Amazing that so many came from far and wide and grateful to have had the opportunity to come together again and make more memories. It really was a unique and special gift. Thank you all!

Congratulations on this 27th anniversary of your marriage. It's a Friday celebration, so you can look forward to a weekend of good wishes and family fun.
We're sure that Jessica and Nicholas will help to make this a special day for you. Just their presence on any day of the year is cause for joy and thanksgiving.
We'll pour ourselves a wee dram in honor of you, remembering the good times we've had together and wishing for more of the same in the future. Cheers!
This morning Dave is out in the garden watering his roses and remembering your relaxed approach to their care. He's letting them do what comes naturally and they are responding nicely.
Later today we will pour ourselves a wee dram and raise a birthday toast to you.
May the sun shine on you today and may the coming year be like a garden full of beautiful surprises. Cheers!
We wish you the happiest of days, with little Dominick there to share the occasion with you. How could this be anything but a birthday to remember?
Here in St Andrews we are having a celebration of our own. August was a time of reunion for us and we were especially happy to catch up on the lives of our nieces and nephews and their families.
On your 28th birthday, we toast your presence in our lives and we look forward to the next time we meet. May you enjoy many happy returns of this day.
Congratulations as you begin yet another decade of your life. According to our Book of Days, this should be a gem of a celebration - a PEARL, to be exact.
Though you may not read our blog greeting yourself, we hope someone in the Barker family will pass it along to you. We wish you the kind of day that is full of discovery and surprise, like the PEARL itself. May you enjoy many happy returns of this day. Cheers!
Congratulations on your September 16th birthday. We know that you and Thom will make this day a time of celebration for yourselves. Life seems good when the two of you are together.
We're going to mark this occasion with a celebratory toast in your honour. Here's to making good music, to finding harmony and having many truly happy days, no matter what the occasion.
E very aunt and uncle would L ike to have an E leven-year-old niece who is V ivacious, lovely and kind - E xactly like you! Have a very N ice birthday today.
As you can imagine, we'll be choosing the best of our single-malt scotches for a toast in your honour. Be sure to pour yourself a double and join us in spirit(s).
Here's to a special Sunday celebration and to another year of good times with family and friends. May you enjoy every chance you get to shoot below par on your favorite golf courses; and may your achievements on the course of life itself remain well above par. Cheers!
Congratulations! Twenty-one is supposed to be a milestone in life that calls for something special. We hope your day is exactly that - as special as you yourself are at 21. For our part, we're celebrating a super great-nephew.
We think it's especially nice that you and your Grandpa Wohlberg get to share this September 21st birth date. So, our birthday toast will call for double the scotch, double the wishes, and double the fun. May you enjoy many happy returns of this day.
Congratulations! Our Book of Days calls this a celebration of TIN for TEN. Maybe that's because it makes a catchy phrase. But a gift that is made of tin might also symbolize the malleability, beauty and value of a ten-year union.
We send warm greetings and sincere wishes for much happiness as you begin the second decade of your marriage. May your love for one another increase with each passing year.
Congratulations as you mark your tenth wedding anniversary today. We are sure that the presence of your daughter, 7-year-old Tess, will make this an extra-special occasion for the whole family.
She'll be wishing her mom and dad more of the happiness and love that have brought you this far along life's road together. We join her and others in saluting you today. May the journey ahead be a wonderful, life-long adventure. Cheers!
Congratulations on this RUBY celebration. It's your fortieth birthday; so color it red!
We hope this Friday event marks the beginning of a whole weekend of nice surprises for you. We want to add our greetings to those of all your family and friends. 40 is special!
This evening we will pour ourselves a wee dram and raise a toast in your honor. May you enjoy many happy returns of this day and may the new decade ahead of you be the best years of your life.
Our Internet service has been inaccessible all day but that has not kept us from raising a birthday toast in your honor.
Now, the day is coming to an end for us here in Scotland and we are back on line. Luckily, you'll still be celebrating in eastern Canada. It's not too late for us to send blog greetings your way.
We hope you are having fun with family and friends on your Saturday birthday. May you enjoy many happy returns of this day.
Cheers, love and best wishes, Louise and David **38**38**38**38**38**38**38**38**38**38**38**
Those years are sure adding up, aren't they? We couldn't find reference to any special stone for marking 47 years but you do have a gem of a marriage going on there. Congratulations!
We know you'll choose a nice way to celebrate this milestone in your lives. You were in our thoughts first thing this morning, as the sun rose over the North Sea and we'll still be remembering you as it sets over the famous Old Course, St Andrews at the end of this special day. Have one of the best ever celebrations, and keep those anniversaries coming!
Your Tuesday celebration will probably have to wait until Presley and Corson get home from school and you and Christine finish work. Family life can be hectic but we're sure you'll all find a way to make this last day in September 2014 a special one.
Here in St Andrews the pace is easy and we've got plenty of time for sending happy thoughts and warm wishes your way. We hope your 38th birthday is perfect, from beginning to end. Here's to many happy returns of this day.
Your Saturday birthday is cold and wet here in St. Andrews where professional and amateur golfers from around the world are competing for the Dunhill Cup. Dave is out there spotting balls and keeping the crowds in check. When he comes in from the cold, he is going to need a nice, warm drink.
We'll pour ourselves a wee dram, hoping that the sun is shining on you as you celebrate your birthday with family and friends.
You may well be out "lighting the night" on this October 4 in Calgary. Whatever you happen to be doing to mark your 43rd, we wish you good health and many happy returns of this celebration in your life.
Cheers and lots of love, Louise and David (and HI to Jack and Davis,too, with hugs all around!)

Ditto! I'm in recovery, too. But what a great reunion. Thank you to all those wonderful people who did so much to make it all so good.
Love, BJ

What just happened? All those little boxes framing our greetings started out as happy faces. I guess I'll go back to asterisks and numbers.
