Seven people from the McGarrigle family and friends liked a picture of me with a tray of Kate McGarrigle's special christmas biscuit recepie that I put in the K&A McGarrigle Facebook group. Anna & Jane McGarrigle & Lily Lanken all left hearts. This is the firthest reach I've had for any of my posts there and I am so happy about it it's ridicoules.

Also, Anna's spous Dane literally shared my birthday video for his wife on his own fscebook page. It's now permanently plastered on there for all their friends and family to see. I nearly died.

Okay but not only did Anna McGarrigle's Hubbie like my video edit for her birthday but he shared it on his account! So now its on his account and not just in the fan group...

This is the next best thing that ever happened me McG related!

Among all the fans and friends wishing Anna McGarrigle a happy birthday, her closest does like to have a bit of fun with it.

Her husband Dane seems to have forgotten it entierly - thought there are some 300+ other people willing to remind him!

Her old friend and distant in-law (Nephews wife's dad) Peter suggests she's celebrated a few times already this year - to which another friend remarked her memory was so bad she forgot.
