  5. Happy Birthday Sweet Bunny Lady! I have it on good authority that BD was trying to find us, but we moved so fast he was always one step behind. What a great birthday party! I've never been to one as nice as yours. Thanks Bill, for footing the bill for all this. Susie, I think you should keep him. He's more priceless than anything at Tiffany's. Thanks for inviting me to go along. Now to nap for about a week. :) xxoo

  10. And here I thought I wouldn't enjoy NYC--too crowded. Not at all! Had a super visit with you, Sue.

    Happy, happy b'day, my friend. I'm delighted that you're not one of THOSE women who stop having b'days and don't celebrate themselves. You are amazing and one great broad with which to zoom around the city. xxxooogretchen

    You deserve all of this and more dear lady, I hope your birthday is as wonderful as you are. I will be thinking of you..

  12. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUSIE!!!!! Thank you so much for inviting me along with you. I have never been to NY and thoroughly enjoyed it with you and the ladies. But boy do my feet hurt. Your Bill is a doll for taking care of everything and making sure everyone had a souvenir. Sorry we lost Brian...I wonder what could have happened. I don't think I will every have such an enjoyable day as I've had with you. Thanks again for inviting me and enjoy the rest of your birthday wishes.

  42. Wow, what a fun and tiring day that was. I am just beginning to recover from the excitement. I loved my room ( the first one you showed) and all the great food. Now where to go for brunch today before my train ride back home??

    Hope you had a great day; your little something has made it to my car and the post office should be the next stop!

  43. Happy Birthday sweet Susie Q!!!!!

    I'm sorry I'm late, but even though I wrote it down I missed the big day. Forgive me??

    I so enjoyed the sights and sounds of one of my favorite cities :)

    Next time we go, let's remember to eat at Patsy's. It was one of Sinatra's favorite restaurants and their fried mozzarella is to die for. Who doesn't love a little cheese??? not me ;)

    Happy Birthday Again!!!!

    Love,

  44. A belated Happy Birthday to you!!

    And you just keep on blogging exactly as you want to!!! You don't have to do 'what I do.' Nor do I have to do, 'what you do.' Of course!!! Sorry for any offense.

    And as to home/hearth, after writing this...I'm on my way to compose a "T. T. entry." I have a {to be unfulfilled} wish, to live as she did. :-)

    Couldn't access my e-mail addy? I can NEVER click on any e-mail addy link, anywhere on the Net... and make it work. Perhaps 'my long time malady' this way, is spppppppreading! Eeeeek...

  46. Happy Birthday Susie Q....I am so glad I could make it to your birthday party in New York City. I was there in September for 5 days and just like you had a wonderful time. I saw places that I did not see when I was there, so thanks for taking me along. I also went to the Today show and loved seeing every one on the show. They were so nice and shook hands with every one. Oh I forgot to tell you, but while I was there I had a date with Brien.........sorry...lol

  47. I'm a day late even though I have your birthday marked on my calendar that hangs right over my desk! What a maroon I can be!! BUT anyway HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Birthday dearest Susie Q! What a magnificent day in NYC that was!!!
    I was there for my 50th birthday and then the following 2 years after that I met some friends there for a long weekend. I can see there are definitely places I need to go back and see or taste!
    Have you ever been to Mo Pitkin's? Deep fried mac and cheese.
    You throw a major celebration my friend and that Bill, what a generous guy he is!! Tell him thanks for everything!
    XOXOXOXO

  48. Oh my GOD I'm exhausted Suze...that's the best party I've ever ever been to...I am beat...and you know that crazy man from the subway grabbed my bottle of champers somewhere along 52 St.! I knew my bag felt light. Darn drunks! Oh, excuse my hiccups...Mr. D...did you ever catch him? I mean catch up with him? Wasn't the Today show fun? Why didn't we go to the Millionaire show and try to get on as contestants? YOU DID? Why you sneaky girl!

  62. Heya Susie Q
    Boy have just returned from your birthday bash, I lagged behind abit (well I did have to fly in from Australia & Bill must have forgotten about the time difference) but hey had the best of times. Nearly caught up to you at the Plaza, they were going to charge me for all the damage you girls did in that room! especially the bed, how many were jumping on it???? Anyway am a first timer to your blog & cannot think of a better time to come on over & visit you, Ive had to change my pants (wetting them from laughter)
    Thanks heaps for a great time, am now a follower of yours, but must away the jet lag has caught up to me.

    Ooooooooh by the way you will never guess who was on the flight home with me, yes siree, it was good ol' Brian sitting right next to me. Boy guy is a bit of a wreck at the moment, mumbling something about his crazed number 1 fan (he keeps refering to the movie Misery & said he simply had to leave the country).
    Anyway Susie Q, he is in good hands with me, Im looking after him for you.
    Thank Bill for all the great food, pressies etc, he's one of a kind.
    Have a great day
