Happiest of birthdays to Laurna! I hope it's a great day! :)
Happy, happy birthday!
Laurna, you're the best!
Happy, happy birthday,
So get a little rest!
Happy, happy birthday,
And please stay off that foot!
Happy, happy birthday,
And I can't think of a logical rhyme for "foot" that works in this context!
Oh well, I tried! Consider that your birthday card from me. ;D
How about: And keep enjoying the Codex book!
Well, it's sort of close. ;)
Have a very happy birthday, Laurna! You are the best! :)
Cool rhyme!
You gals are the best!
Thank you!
Happy birthday :)
Thank you, Revanne! I am enjoying my day.
As a birthday present my sister and I just watched the extended blue-ray version of the Desolation of Smaug.
There was a surprising side plot and an important character who was in it; one who had only been spoken of before. I wonder if that actor had felt bad when every one of his scenes had been cut out of the theater release. There were at least four good scenes that had extended dialogue which really did add to the plot lines. Just be prepared for 3 1/2 hours.
Happy Birthday Laurna....I hope it was a good one!

Hope it was wonderful!
OMG!
I love, love, love that cake!
I think I will make that my computer back ground for this month.
Thank you.
Happy birthday, Laurna!
I hope you are getting lots up puppy kisses and little tail wags. And have a super-great day! :)
Happy, happy birthday, Laurna!

Happy birthday, Laurna!
And what an excellent (and apropos!) cake, Evie! :)
Very happy birthday Laurna. Hope you have a very special day.
Thank you Ladies. Aww to the cake! Love it, but I am not sure I can cut into that one. ;D
My sister baked me the berry pie when I did not do it myself. Black berry pie for breakfast, any one?.
Did you all see the image of Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman.... Birthday Eye candy! :o Think of Alaric as the huntsman when he first meets Richenda.
Happy Birthday Laurna. May you have a day full of happiness and puppies:-)
Happy Birthday, Laurna! =o) birthday cake and puppy wags and kisses, to you! (But not puppy kisses on the birthday cake,please.)
It's that time again, Laruna - Happy Birthday! Hope you have a wonderful, marvelous day!
Happy birthday, Laurna! I hope you have a fantastic, lovely day! :D
Many happy returns :)
Thank you, so much lady's. I made it to 55, amazing that! I have craving for some thing lemon. So I am going to the bakery to see what I can find. ;D ;D

I would have sent you some scrumptious lemon drizzle cake made by one of our bible-study members last night (a man, may it be noted!) but unfortunately I'd just eaten the last piece before I read your birthday wish for something lemon.

Oh, that sounds yummy!
I have had a few virtual lemon food so far, but nothing yet from the real world. So the craving goes on! May be this weekend I can make some lemon bars. ;D

I've known a number of men who were excellent cooks/bakers.
The church I attended in my growing-up years had a large Filipino population and as such, we got some Filipino food as frequent stars at church potluck dinners, one of which was lumpia (basically Filipino egg rolls--look them up if you don't know the yumminess that they are!), and the person in the church who made the best lumpia (at least in my opinion) was a man somewhat younger than my parents. His wife said she let him do most of the cooking and she did the dishes. :D
That sounds like a doable arrangement. My older brother was a fantastic cook. And everything he made was yummy. Now my dad and younger brother could not boil water without burning the pan. Proving it is a learned trait and not genetics. ;D
It's Laurna's birthday again!
Happy birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day!

(Just pretend that the name "Eliana" at the base of the cake reads "Laurna.") Enjoy!
Happy birthday, Laurna! I believe His Grace of Corwyn has his kitchen staff very busy preparing for the feast to celebrate your day!
(And nice cake, DR!)

Thank you! I know Laurna likes to sew and likes pretty dresses, although I couldn't really find a Victorian/Victorian-inspired dress-cake I liked, so I did the best I could. ;)
(Although there was this one gorgeous dress [an actual formal gown, not a cake that looks like one] that was Haldane crimson with gold embroidery . . .)
happy birthday!
Happy birthday, Laurna! Alaric says that while a Haldane crimson and gold ballgown would of course be lovely, he would like to suggest the Morgan colors for you instead. So here is a Victorian ballgown in the Morgan colors:

Nothing like a little behind-the-scene friendly rivalry influencing your ballroom wardrobe options, is there? ;)
And of course, having run off at the mouth about a beautiful Haldane crimson dress with gold embroidery, it took me half forever to find the [expletive deleted] gown.
But!
Ta-da!

Happy Birthday!
Party like it's [insert favorite Deryni year here]!
;D
Good Morning, Ladies and Gents!
Oh, I want to get all dressed up and Party! I can wear the Corwyn gown for afternoon tea-luncheon and then change into the Haldane gown for a Rhuemuth court ball. Sounds like a dream day to me. If we are in Gwynedd modern times. Do you think one of you fine ladies could obtain Morgan Haldane's Name for my dance card. Perhaps for nice long Waltz. (heart bounding) ;D
His Grace has happily scratched Duchess Oksana from his dance card and has added your name. (He now owes you one. ;D)
Happy Birthday, Laurna!
Wonderful Jerusha, It is i who owe you one. ;) Don't worry, I will suggest he save a slow dance for you my lady.
Thank you, Shiral, I am having a good day.
Whoever's ball gown you chose, hope you will wear it happily on your birthday!
Happy birthday Laurna. Hope it was a lovely day
I had a good day, thank you, Judywward and Derynifank!
Belated happy day. I loved your gowns
Hello Demercia, thank you for the happy day wishes.
Since a Victorian lady changed 3 to 5 times a day, I have no trouble warring both gowns on the same day. but due to the underpinnings being so very different for both gowns above, I will definitely need a dressing maid. LOL. Oh and I need to reverse the order of wearing. the Higher necked gown for the daytime tea and the off the shoulder short sleeve for the evening ball.
All smiles. Who wants to join me.
Count me in! (A nice gown in the black and gold of Tehryn will work quite nicely.)
I just don't think I could pull off the gown look myself. No one really wants to see me try.
:D
Jerusha, I will be happy to lend you my black and gold gown.

We will wow the Morgans, you and I.
MidnightBlue, I think a black tailed-tux with a midnight blue cumber-bun can be obtained for you; I have friends. But if you prefer a highland plaid or tunic, that can be arranged too. I love having my friends at the ball. Lots of people to gossip and joke with.
What a beautiful gown, Laurna! I shall be very careful as I wear it.
Duke Alaric is a skilled dance partner, so I am sure we won't need to worry about him stepping on the hem. :)
Count me in.
Maybe just a hint of tartan in honour of St Andrew's day and my sadly non-existent Scottish blood.
Birthday wishes for you to wake up to, my lady. Have a wonderful day.
Have a very happy birthday, Laurna! Darcy sends his wishes for a wonderful year!
Happy Day
Thank you, everyone!
Did some hair style testing for next week. That was fun. Next to fix up more flower bouquets for next week. Then maybe dinner tonight. Mexican food.
A day late and a dollar short, but happy birthday, Laurna! :D
Cupcakes for all!
https://fun-squared.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Puppy-Dog-Cupcakes.jpg
LOL! The cupcakes are so cute. I'm happy to pass those around for everyone to have one.
Thank you DR>
Happy, happy birthday, Laurna!
Washburn managed to wheedle the last meat pie from a travelling vendor as they left for Valoret, and Darcy, of course, had secreted a wineskin in his sea bag with a surprisingly fine wine. Aliset and Fiona managed to find some tarts to complete your birthday feast. Father Columcil, of course, will be saying the blessing.
Enjoy your day!
Happy birthday,
@Laurna !

(Closest cake design I could find to a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, and I'm not sure what the "ribbon" says. That looks like Polish or a related language, which I don't speak or read, but at a guess, it's a Best In Show ribbon.)
Both I and Wash will be quite happy with our blessed morning feast of meat pie, tarts, and fine wine. The cake to be had after is just too cute. Feast all around for everyone.
I will miss chat today, for I am off to a friends house this afternoon. So please have a good chat that I can read later.
Thank you, love you all.
Laurna
Happy, happy birthday Laurna. Hope you have a wonderful day with your friends. I have to tell you how much I have enjoyed writing with you(and Jerusha) in the game. You have always been willing to help the newcomer and I have learned a lot from you. You have a terrific imagination and I love the bits you add to my scenes. So enjoy your meat pie, tarts, and wine now and your celebration later. We will definitely raise a glass to you in chat.
Happy birthday Laurna. Enjoy a wonderful day.
"Benedice, domina bellissima." From Father Columcil. "Be blessed, most beautiful lady."
Or as he would be more likely to say "Blessings upon ye, bonnie lassie".

Bonnie lassie. At 58 I shall happily take all the flattery I can get. LOL
Thank you Columcil
And Thank You ladies. It has been a most enjoyable pastime- Writing with really good people. - I look forward to where it will lead us next.
I hope you had a lovely birthday, Laurna, with all the trimmings and fun!
Thank you Judy, It was a fun day that included a chocolate cake with two number candles that said 85, when I exclaimed "WHAT!" They all laughed and switched the numbers two 58. I said that is bad enough. LOL
It's your birthday, Laurna! Hope you have a wonderful, happy day! And NO dice rolls are required for success!
Happy Birthday Laurna. Hope your day is the best!

Happy Birthday, Laurna!
Have a lovely birthday
Happy birthday Laura! May the Bluebird of Happiness shed feathers upon your head, and may the Storm Crow of Reckoning ignore you entirely. 8)
Happy birthday to a fun Rhemuth cowriter and an amazing, multi-talented person. Hope your birthday has been the best. Washburn raises a glass of his best Fianna red in your honor.
Thank you, Thank you Ladies and gents. Just had a slice of Homemade apple pie and triple vanilla icecream. Yumm!
Happy birthday, Laurna! A cherished friend with the most amazing imagination and a talent for bringing it to life is wished a wonderful day!
Happy birthday, I hope you have a fun filled day.
Happiest of birthdays, Laurna!

(We are either going to ignore the "mum" on the heart on the front of the cake, or we're going to pretend that Laurna's menagerie call her "mum." ;D )
A wonderful cake and a very happy birthday Laurna
Thank you ladies, It has been a good day so far. I was so busy looking at the 60 and going "Really, 60, Do I feel that Young?" that I didn't even see the "mum" .. ;D
My dogies call call me Mum, But if anyone else calls me mum you better be humming a pretty tune. LOL Love the colors of the cake too!
Everyone gets a slice!
Happy Birthday, Laurna!
Melissa
I did post on your timeline but wanted to add my hope that you have had a marvelous birthday full of family, friends, and most of all, puppies, kitties and horses.
Happiest of birthdays, Miss Laurna! I hope your menagerie has given you a wonderful day! :)
Thank you Rhemuth Friends, Had a nice dinner and Triple chunk chocolate ice cream at my sister and B-I-L's home.
Triple chunk chocolate ice cream -- oh yum!
Happy Birthday, Laurna, and many more!!
Thank you Judy and Jerusha, I shall happily share some cake and Ice cream, there is some left. ;)
Happy birthday, Laurna!
Aliset found a new cook for Caer Mariot and he makes fantastic sweets. She has filled a basket with them and is sending it to you with Father Columcil, who stopped by to see how she is doing.
Darcy volunteered to bring them, but Aliset decided it would be nice of more than half of them showed up. ;D
Happy Anniversary of Entering Into the World! ;D
I am looking forward to Columcil's arrival with Aliset's baked goods.
Thank you Jerusha and Evie.
Father Columcil asks forgiveness for his lateness in arriving with the sweets snd for the tardiness of his birthday greetings.
He can assure you that the seeets are very good (and the basket almost as full as when he set out).
Happy birthday Laurna I hope you had a great day.
Happy Birthday, Laurna!
Columcil's timing is perfect, and the basket was full enough,(I appreciate that someone taste tested the gift before it came to me, to be sure it hadn't spoiled while crossing the pond, twice.) I just had a taste of Scottish(boarder) shortbread cookies and steaming hot chocolate, YUMM. Perfect for the evening. The company was wonderful, full of stories about flamingos, sword fighting, Werewolves and feasts.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes.
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, LAURNA! I'm sorry that I wasn't sooner giving wishes and pluck but had been away from the Castle. I wish the best for you and yours (and for everyone having birthdays at the Castle). ;D
