Who's Beth?

Today at Scott's Take we're taking time to run a birthday tribute to Scottpal and colleague Beth Smith (not her real name). If you have a Beth birthday wish or bon mot, feel free to post it in the comments section.

Beth is older than me, BTW. WAY older.

She was born in an EARLIER decade.

She is also a great pal with an intoxicating laugh, a kind and generous heart and a beautiful soul! AND further more, I am glad she is here to stay!

Beth so does not look her age! I swear the first time I met her a couple years ago, I thought she was in her mid-30s, if that. And she still look that young!

Happy birthday Beth!! And keep looking/feeling/acting young!
