my favorite thing was not the view, which was spectacular.

it was not the food, which was fabulous.

it was not the company which was charming.

it was finding out that seagulls have toenails.  and pale pink feet.  pretty much, what i thought about the entire time.

  3. My goodness, those are fabulous seagull pictures!! I love the one where he is looking right at you, as if to say, “48 years old? how can that be??”!
    But just so you know, herring gulls (like the one in your photos) have pink feet but not all seagulls do. For example, the California gull, which you might also see in your neighbourhood, has greenish-yellow feet. 🙂

  5. happy, happy birdegg (that’s how we say happy birthday in our family)!!! love the photos and so happy to hear you enjoying and celebrating yourself (and the seagulls) 🙂

  6. Shhhhh…..that’s the sound of the World getting just a little cooler every time that you post. I shall celebrate your birth by telling people that you, Mary Ann Moss, have a great eye for detail among your other endless talents. Raising the glass to you Darling, today and EVERY day…….*clink*……

  20. Did you ever read Sandra Boynton books. There were some of my favorites when my DD’s were babies. Thus, the following. If I could draw I would here but I can’t so picture this while singing along to the tune of the basic happy bday song.

    I beat ya by one day sweetie 1/8 and a steady 52 years in front of me.
    I LOVED the seagull pics….the views and the salty air that made it’s way all the way to a chilly, MN.

  21. Thanks for making me smile for your birthday. I am certain it was a happy one since you find such delight in everything that you do.
    I have a list of 60 things. Yikes!
    Happy birthday and happy new year!

  22. Happy Birthday.
    I’ve almost watched all the videos for ROD. I want to watch them all one time before I start the making…but I have started to fiddle with some fun little inserts like days of the week/months of the year…and searching for nifty free fonts. Thanks again for all the work you put into the videos, they’re great. AND thanks for offering the class. I’ll show and tell sooner than later.
    Hope your celebration is fabulous.

  25. Mary Ann! A very happy birthday, and many, many more! Let’s all have a big slab of chocolate cake with chocolate icing in your honor, and hoist a glass of champagne. And let’s invite all the seagulls who want to come because we love seagulls and their pink feet (just not flying over our chocolate cake). Sound of cork popping……

  26. Happy Birthday, Mary Ann! (today’s the first day of my 56th year.) 😉 i grew up surrounded by seagulls and never knew they had toenails. 🙂

  36. HBTY!!! and here’s to a year full of fulfilled wishes, more beautiful views, good company, ideas flashing, and color everywhere you look! you da bomb baby…

  40. Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Mary Nnnnnnnn, Happy Birthday to you!!! That’s my virtual song to you, on your special day 🙂

  41. Happy Birthday! 48 is good vintage, with hints of stiff joint and a whiff tannined hair, but still a beaujolais, so enjoy and celebrate it every day.

  43. Hello Mary Ann,
    I see you were at Gladstones for lunch today.
    I have my fingers crossed that you took the 5 minute drive up to enjoy the old Getty Museum (aka Getty Villa )
    There is an amazing educational center dedicated to the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria
    The Villa houses approximately 44,000 works of art from the Museum’s extensive collection of Greek, Roman, and Etruscan antiquities, of which over 1,200 are on view.
    The current exhibition explores representations of Mexican archaeological objects and sites made from the Colonial era to the present.
    Admission is free and groups are welcome, so if you didn’t make it today I think you should celebrate with all those little creatives you teach and make it an artist date !
    Happy Birthday !
