...years old today, and actually feeling great about it! I'm such a lucky girl, with wonderful friends. And if I should ever feel depressed (or skeptical, like Manon) about the pile-up of years, I can always remember that my alter-ego, Cassandra, is only 9 1/2!

Who was Cassandra?
In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.

Looking sharp, Ms. 60! As for that big number: remember, nobody every believed Cassandra...

Wow, I am now the age that you were when we moved in next door in Hartford, and your years have doubled since then! That is kinda crazy :) You are looking great in that pic, and I want to come up and meet that cat!

Happiest of birthdays to you, dear Beth! You are a perennial inspiration to me. You create such beautiful work, in so many different forms -- from the books you lovingly edit and design to the prints and paintings in your study. May you enjoy many many many more years of joyful creation!

What a wonderfully celebratory photo! You look fantastic, Beth, and so does little white-gloved Manon with her fierce expression. And is that a new drawing right behind you? I don't remember seeing it in this series before: beautiful. You've had my birthday wishes already but here are lots more, for every day of the year, and all the years to come.
Posted by: Natalie | September 22, 2012 at 06:12 PM
Happy birthday Beth. You look so lovely.
Posted by: Sitiaishah Salim | September 23, 2012 at 12:56 AM
You look wonderful. I wish I were 60 again!
Posted by: hattie | September 24, 2012 at 10:40 AM
Happy belated birthday! Now, tell me how I can get to be more like you in just ten years?
Posted by: Lucy | September 24, 2012 at 04:56 PM
I am very fond of coming in the top look.Praise.

Running late here, but happy birthday, Beth, slightly delayed. At sixty-one I can say that most of the time I forget my age. I may not be as fast as I once was, but what I lack in speed I make up with thoroughness. I'm quite sure you're the same. I wish you well at this important point in your life... well, they're all significant really, aren't they, though sixty does seem more so... and trust that it will be the springboard to many more exciting projects for you, both as an artist and publisher.
