Happy Birthday Liz

Birthday greetings from Kalamazoo!!! Yes, there is such a place. Long may you continue being an example of a life well lived. Toni

Happy Birthday, Liz, from a long time reader. I fell in love with your writing years ago, as it reminded me of my wonderful Ennis, TX born grandmother (though you are more my late mother’s age, but she wasn’t from Texas). Ironically, two of my other favorite ladies were Ann Richards and Molly Ivans. Let me tell you, I KNOW they expect you to carry on your wonderful self for many more years. I only hope I got some of Granny’s (or yours or Ann’s - I think I might have got some of Molly’s!) Texas genes, as she lived a full life for 99 years and laughed like I’ve heard you laugh - a true joy of life. I look forward to many more years of your columns and participation on the site. You are the rock, and only consistent contributor, so shame your colleagues (are you listening, Julia) and let’s get some more original content at the level you have set. I digress - I love you - Happy Birthday, wishing you the best year ever. Joanne

Dear Liz, Have a wonderful birthday! And a super new year! You are to gossip as Rembrandt was to painting, as Mozart was to music. I really appreciate all the pizzazz you have brought to wowowow in the last year, even though I sometimes think I spend so much time reading posts that I could have read the complete works of Shakespeare twice. [But would it be as much fun?] Anyway, keep sharing the joy! [And the irritation, sometimes quite appropriate.] But do enjoy your birthday and know that we will be celebrating it along with you, if thousands of miles away.

Happy Birthday Liz!

happy birthday to you! sending good health and wishes of contentment your way …

Happy Birthday, Liz Smith!

Happy Birthday Liz! Mine is Thursday and I try to follow in your footsteps: smart, good looking and damn witty. Thanks for keeping us all in the know.

You changed the world and the future of your family here in Texas when you became our Mary Bibba. How could mere words ever express the change in events the gods allowed to follow Sarah Elizabeth McCall Smith giving birth to you on February 2nd?! Happy Birthday! I’ll always regret never being able to express it as smoothly, concisely, or eloquently as you Journalism majors - you are my IT Girl! xxoo Roxanna Elizabeth Smith Chapman

Liz Smith - You make 86 look much better than I do 58 - keep on keepin’ on - you’re the top - you’re the Tower of Pisa, you’re to top - you’re the Mona Lisa…. Best wishes for a great gal! Janet Moore

Liz, Many happy returns. Your are the best…. Always so cheerful, positive and with energy to spare. You are a gem! a diamond ! It’s always been fun to know you through a few decades. Kind but not boring, ever. And with all the things you know about everyone……… you are still discreet, yet manage to gossip, inform and amuse. To many more birthdays….. Joyeux Anniversaire Liz. With love xoxoxo Caterine Milinaire
