Yvsa, I had a pewter plate given to me by some dear friends when I left Belgium back in '85. Lost the plate in Hurricane Andrew, but I'll never forget the simple and eloquent inscription my friends had engraved on it. A phrase fitting and relevant when observing special days like the birthdays of friends....Les temps passe, L'amitie reste. "Time passes, Friendship remains". Happy birthday Yvsa.
