Mark's 40th birthday is tomorrow....or today depending on when you read this. (Thursday the 25th) He is not very happy about it. I told him to embrace it but he didn't think that was funny. He;s such a kid anyways. I don't see why the number 40 should scare him. :o) He is such a wonderful husband and father. He is so NOT shy. He talks to everybody and anybody. I'm not exaggerating about that. Even when we are traveling and trying to make good time, we always get held up at the gas stations, because he gets all involved in conversation with who ever is pumping gas next to us. He just so friendly and funny that people can't help but love him.Happy Birthday!
I love you Mark!
Please wish him a happy birthday...even if you don't normally leave comments, just so he can feel the love. Thanks in advance!
I cleaned out and organized the closet my catering/serving pieces are in. I love that I can see exactly what I have. Mark has the other half of the closet for his motorcycle stuff. I may have to squeeze into a bit of his side. :o) How does one figure out the cost of food per person to know what to charge for catering? How much do you mark it up to make a profit? That is the hardest part for me.I hope you are all doing well. Thanks so much for the sweet compliments on my handouts. You all make me feel so much better about things. :o)

Ah, the big 4-0...I think I can remember back that far. Happy Birthday to Mark!!! He's still just a young guy.
You're so organized Jolene. I love getting to peek into your pantry and storage places from time to time. Everything is always so neat. I admire that.
Oh Mark! Look how YOUNG you are!
You're 10 years younger than 50...
You're 20 years younger than 60...
You're 30 years younger than 70...
You're 40 years younger than 80 !!
Look how YOUNG you are!!
Happy birthday, big guy!
Now go give that wife of yours a big kiss! : )
Hi Jolene,
Happy Happy birthday to the big guy!!! Happy "40th"!!!
I also do catering. I charge double for each dish I do. If the grocery's come to $15.00 for the dish, than I charge $30.00 for the dish. Because, if they were to go to the deli to get this, you are charged per pound for everything, also they can get all of there food cost at bulk, and so much of their food comes in already pre-made from "Sysco" & etc.. From us, everything is "homemade", I know you do alot of cooking & baking for others... I've been following your blog for a long time... You are do very generous with your gifts & talents that you've been blessed with....
You ROCK!!!
Happy Birthday Mark - hope 40 is wonderful for you.
Great job on the closet - it looks fantastic.
Happy Birthday Mark!
Happy Birthday to your hubby!! I hope he has a great day!!
I love the pieces for your catering. I have no idea how to chage for anything, though. Sorry!!
Happy Birthday Mark!! 40 is great. Wait till you turn 50 :) 51 here
Take care,
Love,
Terri
You know I always comment Jolene - can't shut me up! LOL
Happy Happy Happy (belated) Birthday dear Mark! You are the luckiest man in you have the most wonderful wife and family imagineable.
Don't fret - life does begin at 40 (this from a gal who turned 41 last week!) Have a wonderful week-end!
Happy Birthday Mark! I feel your pain, as I hit that milestone last Saturday. Hope you have a good one anyway!
Happy Birthday Mark! I hear that it gets much better after 40 (I don't know what "it" is, but I'm looking forward to "it")
Happy Birthday Mark! I think I read somewhere that 40 is the new 30...or something like that! I know you'll get lots of hugs from your family, such a lucky guy to have a family so full of love!
Happy Birthday, Mark...
You are old.
; )
Happy 4-0! Have a wonderful year!
I know I'm late, BUT HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK!!! 40 is great!!
Happy Happy Birthday to Mark, your very handsome husband. Remind him - age is just a number.
Hugs!
Kat
getting worked up over 40?! Heck at least he doesn't have a 3 yr old like I did. :)
Hi Jolene!!
Go tell that social butterfly of a hubby I said Happy (belated) Birthday!! I have a chatty, friendly husband, too. Something as simple as sending him for milk always ends up taking much longer than it should. It's endearing, though, isn't it??
Have a great week!
Linda
Age is just a number so don't let it get to yah!
Happy Birthday Mark!
A belated Happy 40th Mark - I hit 40 the same day!

Happy 40th birthday Mark! You're young at heart and in looks so don't fear that number.

Happy 40th (a few days late!)
to Mark! Now, this comes from a 51 year old...40 is a fantastic age! Truly! Enjoy this year and may it be one filled with joy and love and good health!
Enjoy each day and keep that great sense of humor! There is nothing sexier than a funny man!! : )
Give Jolene a hug from me and, if she approves, have her give you one from me too!
Love and hugs,
Sue
