HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEST VIRGINIA

West Virginia is 144 years old Today - June 20th 2007.
Most everyone I know in Charleston got up very early this morning to stand in line for purchasing the BLENKO GLASS - 2007 Birthday Vase, the vase is beautiful, the size is perfect! I hope everyone I know was 'lucky' and was able to purchase one. Each year there are a few disappointed shoppers who arrive late or don't realize the vase is limited in number.

For me, this isn't a holiday - I'll be at the Health Science Center thinking about removal partial dentures, screenings, and how to increase my patient load.

If you are in Milton this day - send photos, or stories, there are always interesting people in the 'line' to buy the vase.

A 'special ' HELLO to my Uncles, my Dad, Eppie and John Boles, Renita Williams and her Mom, Steve and Margie Bair and my other "Birthday line buddies". hjh
