We're on the verge of Birthday Season (or BS, for short).

BS is a family event, as all BS should be. It starts in a coupla weeks and permeates the whole family for the next six weeks, commanding our collective attention. My oldest niece's birthday is first. That is followed a week later by my next-youngest sister's birthday, which is followed in quick succession by the birthdays of the same sister's husband and youngest son.

There's more: eight sons and daughters of friends, plus three close friends and my boss all have birthdays in that time frame. And I'll have at least two stamping parties during all that. In other words, once we begin partying, we don't stop 'til the leaves start to change color :)

It's true - there will be at least one celebration every weekend 'til the end of September, so I best accomplish something in the way of tidying the place up now.

Dust, sweep and be merry, for soon we party!
