Christopher and I would like to thank you all for making his 22nd birthday celebration so special. It is not everyday that a young man receives 90 heartfelt birthday wishes from all corners of the globe. Christopher read each one and was most touched.


Thank you so much my darlings for all the love you send my way each and everyday. You are all very special to me.

    Dear Duchess,
    For some reason I have missed reading your posts this week. Reading the last four I was reminded to never do that again!
    The post where you told Christopher 20 things that you love about him is so heart warming. I have a son turning 21 this summer, I may need to copy your idea. What a gift you gave him!
    Also, your post about a home, Oh, my heart almost hurt reading it!
    I won't get so far behind again!
    Have a wonderful day.

    Hallo liebe Duchess, ich kann es kaum glauben das sich dein Sohn all die Kommentare zu seinem Geburtstag durchgelesen hat... unglaublich!! Ich danke Dir aber auch für deinen Kommentar, da warst Du aber sehr fleißig, bei 78 Kommentaren!!
    Ausserdem kann ich es kaum fassen, das Du mir schreibst bei deiner reisigen Verfolgerliste und den zauberhaften Blogs die dahinter stehen, aber ich freue mich immer sehr von Dir zu hören und trinke jetzt gerade Tee, das würde ich sehr gerne mal mit Dir zusammen machen!!
    herzliche Grüße

    Morning Duchess,
    You and Christopher are most welcome. We are big on birthdays
    around here, and feel everyone should have a special day for their
    birthday day, sometimes we drag them out about a week to tell the truth.
    We love that!
    So glad he enjoyed all the well wishes and Hope he had a grand celebration, and I am sure if you had anything to do with it, he did.
    You have a Sweet day,
    Blessings, Nellie
