Sheryll (aka the absent Birthday Elf):

> Yes, Alla is correct, busy is indeed my excuse for neglecting
birthdays. Some of you know that I was working on the HP event
Convention Alley 2008 that took place a couple weeks ago. That was a
major part of my absence from the list. That and a very busy and
erratic work schedule. 
> 
> That said, Convention Alley is over and I have a bit more time on my
hands, so I see no reason why I can't resume birthday greetings. My
apologies to everyone who went without a greeting - which includes my
best friend! Will pick up with a huge party for those who've already
celebrated in July! Just give me a moment to find the decorations. :)

> Oh, and Carol, I have a copy of a presentation to send you! It's on
my list of 'things to do'.

Carol responds:

Thanks very much. That will more than make up for the missed birthday
greeting! You can send some virtual streamers and trust Snape banners
and maybe some lemon meringue pie in lieu of birthday cake along with
it if you like. :-)

Carol, welcoming Sheryll back and hoping for ice cream as part of the
July celebrations (monsoon storms or not, it's hot here in Tucson!)
