Oh Suz,
This is so much fun! My son’s birthday is Saturday, June 30 (and he will be 26 years old!). I just put in all his stats and now I’m going to frame it and give it to him with his card! Yeah! Birthday problem solved thanks to the Boomer Babe in Red!
Hugs,
Connie

Suzie, Thanks for the great link. What a great one to send around to friends. I can make it easy on myself and just add two years to all your ages. What’s that tell you? I’m not 50 yet!
