And *that's* why I hate birthdays! ð???

Champagne has star status A good sparkling wine that has small bubbles, never gets old ... (we say: a great vintage ) ... what about myself ... (I bubble, sometimes ) A birthday come ... and go - (happy birthday 23 july :) A celebration of the year that has passed ? - No ... the step on a new journey of the year that is about to begin I want to celebrate in a horizontal position ... with fluffy hair The day I'm sour like vinegar ... I'm old The secret of staying young: Never reveal your age ... give yourself five stars In the end ... teeth and friends fall out 22.07.2019 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Happy belated birthday Anne-Lise, fine penned piece! Hope you're coping with this heat up in Norway, here in Scotland it's been sweltering all-day!

Remember my dearest friend, Anne-Lise that the only way for us to stay alive...is to get old! Therefore being a year older is truly something to celebrate about! It is God's gift, accept it with gratitude and never forget your age , that way you never forget God's magnanimity. Happy Birthday! May you be forever healthy and happy! Hugs xxx

Happy birthday, Anne-Lise! I still celebrate my birthdays, my thoughts on aging are that you are never old until you feel old...and I'm not there yet. All my best to you. John

I know as you get older you tend to play them down, who wants to be reminded that you're getting on on years. Reading between the lines, if it yours then have a nice day,( I wont sing it lol. The pic is spot on . Tom
