HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

On Dec 29 1982, a baby is born and she was named Katrina. Yup it’s my birthday! I’ll be another year older, hopefully wiser and wishfully looking younger still. I got money from my parents, birthday greetings from friends especially at Facebook, and a cake, yellow flower, and a card from my office. Later we’ll [...]
