Thanks for all the well wishing. We didn't go out to celebrate this evening, but MrsBlue made me a banana birthday cake from a recipe of my grandmother's that is an all-time favorite of mine. It's been many years since I've had this, and it was as festive a celebration as anything I could have imagined. :)
