Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

It's really not that bad, except for the lack of local newspapers.

If hubby thinks about it, I do get to read the Washington times every day.

Put another candle on my birthday cake,
My birthday cake,
My birthday cake;
Put another candle on my birthday cake.
I'm another year old today.

I'm going to have a party with my birthday cake,
My birthday cake,
My birthday cake;
Put another candle on my birthday cake.
I'm another year old today.

We'll have some pie and sandwiches
And chocolate ice cream, too.
We'll sing and play the day away;
There's one more thing I'm going to do.

I'll blow out the candles on my birthday cake
And when I do
A wish I'll make;
Put another candle on my birthday cake.
I'm another year old today.

"Happy birthday to you!"
I'm another year old today.
