Birthday Parties are always wonderful events.
My daughter-in-law turned 40 last week, so her husband had a surprise party for her. He also rented a local billboard and had her birthday wish there for a week. She didn’t notice until he posted it on Facebook on her birthday (Wednesday)

I dream of peace
for the Palestinian People in Gaza.
For the genocide to stop.
For them to be able to not only survive
but thrive in peace.
Without the need for retaliation
or retribution.
Guns and bombs no longer needed.
Plenty for everyone.
Hospitals to heal
not as bomb shelters.
No more fear
Only Joy.
