The star is created by our own Marie and is just perfect to use as a cover statement for the birthday package. Thank you Marie!
Now I want to share a card that I found to be the cutest and the most creative.
The messages are so well thought of so how can one not smile BIG specially with “the worrrrrld” – remember? Thank you Penina for sharing!
Ignazio has been specially nice to me this year…he wore my #9 jersey several times now in public. So here is a collage with a picture of him wearing the shirt and the card I sent.
Michele also has a special message to Ignazio:
Ignazio, Talking with you at the fence after the concert in Elgin, Illinois was the highlight of the five concerts and meet and greets I  attended!  Opening the gym door in the Milwaukee hotel and finding you behind it on your way in was pretty cool too! I was holding my cell phone but didn’t want to bother you for a picture, so I just said “good morning, how are you, did you get some rest?”  The best I can do to “jog” your memory of that morning in the gym is to post Marie’s picture again, of you a few minutes later – on the very same treadmill I had just been on!   Happy Birthday! Michele
