Happy Birthday
by Phil Johnson
ow that the secret's out and the party's on, I want to wish my dear wife a happy birthday. I won't say how old she is; only that Rebecca's cake has almost twice as much candle as the event requiresand I'm happy to say that Darlene has lived more than half her life with me in marital bliss.
Well . . . it's been bliss for me, anyway.
To Darlene: Happy birthday. I love you.
PS: To Dan Phillips: Your turn to post. We need something with substance. I know you'll come through.

Let me be the first to wish you a happy birthday, Darlene! I won't give away your age . . . only to encourage you to be kind to your elder sister in the Lord!
Happy Birthday Darlene!
Happy Birthday, Darlene! It's my son Raj's birthday as well (he's 2).
Happy birthday, Darlene! Make sure that Phil gets you an extra special present (or at least washes the dishes)! Better yet - make sure he takes you out to a nice restaurant (i.e., one that actually has cloth napkins :).
Happy Birthday! Hope your sons and your husband make the day extra-special. It's ok, the 50's aren't bad at all. :) Even if you are not quite there yet.
Happy birthday from G. and E. too. May this next year be your blessed ever.
Margie (her birthday was Sunday)and I say Happy Birthday to you, Darlene! Blessings to you and yours...
I had no idea. We would have sent a card or a singing telegram or something.
They say "Hippo Birdy" at Hallmark. I have no idea what that means. I think it's supposed to be nice.
Happy Birthdau Darlene!
How nice of Phil to honor you in this way :)
to the blueraja:
Happy Birthday to Raj also!He is so cute!

You're a fine example as a Christian husband.
Happy B-Day, and the Lord's love be with you!
Happy Birthday, Darlene!!!
I wish I could have done something extra special for you on this day.
I love the balloon graphic.
Good Night Starshine!
I can see it now: All I got for my birthday was this blogpost. It's kinda like the shirt, only better.
Happy Birthday Darlene!
Happy Birthday Raj and Margie!
Thanks Pyro readers, I have had a very special day. I am blessed to have such wonderful friends and family.
And Phil...yes...bliss for me too!
This is a lovely way to wish your wifey!! Belated Birthday wishes to you Darlene!!:)
HAPPY THIRTY-SECOND BIRTHDAY, Darlene!
And I agree with Steve.
Sorry to be late to the party...Happy Birthday Darlene!
Happy birthday, Darlene! Make Phil take you out to an expensive restaurant in Newport Beach, preferably one where they won't embarrass you by sending a bunch of clapping waitresses and waiters to sing "Today It's Your Birthday" at your table.
At one Mexican restaurant here, waitresses charge up to the unsuspecting celebrant and pour a huge Marguerita down his/her throat. Such potential embarrassments are one reason I tend to avoid going out in public on my greying day.
Happy Birthday Darlene.
Wish we were there to give you a better happy birthday greeting!
What is Phil without Darlene? The Barcellos' with no Johnson Christmas cards/letters.
Happy 25th, Darlene!
