[HeatherInFlorida]

I almost missed it but then my eyes picked it up!!! Happy Birthday, Ruth!! So it's chocolate cake for you tonight! Yaaaaaaay!

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Ruth
Happy Birthday to you!!!!!:D

If someone else already did this, then my eyes have failed me, but I didn't see one!!!!

[ekerr19]

Yes, Happy Birthday and many, many more - with chocolate! :)

[LAFFNVEGAS]

Ruth, I hope you have lots and lots of CHOCOLATE today:D


HAPPY BIRTHDAY:p

[localady]

The happiest of birthdays to you RuthC!!!!:D

And here is to many, many more!!!!

P.S. Birthdays are an excellent reason for CHOCOLATE!!:cool:

[Bill S]

Ruth: have a great birthday! Chocolate cake coming up?

[RuthC]

Thank you all. I feel like I've made many special friends on this board---some I've met :D and others I hope to meet one day. :)

You're all invited over to help me eat all that cake. (You do like chocolate, don't you? ;) )

[Krazy Kruizers]

Happy Birthday Ruth C.

It just so happens that we will be going out for dinner tonight. So not only will we toast you but we will also make certain to have chocolate cake.

Just another reason to get my chocolate fix for the day.

[tomc]

A gentleman always pretends to forget a lady's birthday. I know you are old enough to vote, and that's all that matters.

Your gift is travel docs in a chocolate cake delivered by the new FedEx and United Parcel company: FedUPS.

[RuthC]

Actually, tom, I believe a gentleman remembers a lady's birthday (if he wants to be thought of kindly), but forgets her age.

KK---glad I could provide an excuse for chocolate today! (You didn't really need an excuse now, did you? :D )
Do you realize that the UPS truck is chocolate brown?

[HeatherInFlorida]

As a matter of fact I was just thinking about it ...

I think we should all eat some chocolate today in RuthC's honor and make a toast to Ruth at the same time. How about 7:00 EST???

[Bill S]

I had a Hershey bar with almonds after lunch today in Ruth's honor! No candles, however! :)

[the2ofus]

RuthC, hope your birthday day is one happy tune after another and your year is better than any chocolate treat you can imagine. Have been toasting you all afternoon with the remaining chocolate rum ball Christmas cookies.

[kryos]

Thank you all. I feel like I've made many special friends on this board---some I've met :D and others I hope to meet one day. :)

You're all invited over to help me eat all that cake. (You do like chocolate, don't you? ;) )
Can't help you with eating the chocolate, Ruth (I get migranes from chocolate), but I wish you the best birthday ever ... filled with all your favorite chocolate delights!

Blue skies ...

[jhannah]

Happy day to you, Ruth!
Hope it's bright and alive-uh.
Enjoy to the fullest
With a box of Godiva.

Then, after that,
(Don't think I am loco)
Enjoy a hot mug
Of Ghiradelli cocoa.

Then later this evening,
When you go to bed,
Here's hoping there's chocolate
Where you lay your head!

[Ziggy7]

[RuthC]

All of you! This is so wonderful! The tunes, toast (it's 7:00 right now!), book, and poem, all of this is coming from some of the most special people I can think of.

Thank you! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!

This has got to be the nicest birthday I've had in a very, very long time! And it's all because of all of you.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the good wishes. May they all be returned to you to the 10th power.

[Travelnuts Wife]

Hi Ruth, We Met On The Rotterdam Last Year - The One With The Wonderful Wave. We Did A Couple Of Tours Together. We Are Leaving On The Maasdam On 1/6/05 So I Was Checking The Boards And Saw It Was Your Birthday. I Hope It Was Wonderful And As Much Fun As You Are. Hope To Cruise With You Again Someday.

[bobpatj]

Happy, Happy Birthday, Ruth! More chocolate, just a few days after Christmas! Lucky you. I'll have a yummy chocolate truffle in your honor.

[RuthC]

Oh I remember! Wasn't that a storm to beat the band!

Hope you enjoy the Maasdam; I'll be aboard he myself next July for another go-round on the trans-Atlantic route. Be sure to come back and tell us all about your cruise.
Thanks for the good wishes. (and it wasn't even "belated". there'll still be chocolate cake 'til midnight. ;) )

[Renorita]

Happy Birthday Ruth! You don't know me as I am a fairly new member, but you posted a lovely answer to one of my threads and I LOVE CHOCOLATE, so hope that counts as a ticket to wish you the best! Rita

[obriendan]

A belated Happy Birthday!

Just returned from a family Christmas trip to St. Louis (drove 822 miles on the return trip today). Spent two days in Benton, AK when I-30 was a parking lot on the 23rd!

Looking forward to meeting you on the Maasdam when we join the cruise in Rotterdam on Aug. 2nd.

[doone]

A little late here, Ruthc, but a very happy birthday to you.

[LizB1]

I'm also a little late, Ruth, but do want to wish you a belated Happy Birthday. Look forward to seeing you again next July in Boston!

[saltydog28]

I'm late also Ruth, but I wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday. Now I have to make a cup of cocoa and toast you with it.
Have a good year- All the best,
Pat.

[RuthC]

doone, Liz, Pat---it may be the next day, but it's never too late for chocolate.
Or to say how sweet you are to wish me a Happy Birthday.

Truly, this thread was very thoughtful of Heather and everyone who sent greetings.
The people who post here are just the kind of folks I like to cruise with. :)

(btw---I still have one piece of cake if you want it.)

[Slinkiecat]

So glad to be able to add my greetings, Ruth. I hope you've had a really great birthday celebration.

[cruznon]
