HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN! It’s funny, but as we age, the criteria for
being ‘elderly’ changes drastically. Think young! Best wishes SandraFrom: airwangi2002 elnab@sbcglobal.net
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN, and many more! May we all grow old as you are
doing, with wit, humor and intelligence at the fore! (Elna in

Happy birthday John Burgess!
At 84 your mind is still agile as we all can attest to
your Orchid posts are a treasure
the measure of what we aspire to
succinct and yet a delight
to light our way in pursuit
of hirsute and vexing questions.

Sheridan,
What are you enameling on? Do you have counter enamel? How thickly
is the enamel applied? We had a lot of problems enameling on large
silver surfaces…

G’day; I want to thank all of you for the lovely birthday greetings

John,
Happy Birthday!
Just catching up on prior posts. Congratulations on reaching 84!
Almost a year has gone by since Dave and I were welcomed into your
home. How lovely to have met you, sit for awhile, chat, have a lovely
cuppa. We miss NZ and all the sacred spaces.
Many hugs to you,
