Should have gone here first, birthday confirmation! Yepper, the years go fast in similar fashion with only decades to differ them. Something like that. You are a beautiful woman! Age can't diminish the type of beauty you possess, nope - it can't. Blessings ... CayCay

I read this touching little senryu to my wife while she was watching a Japanese documentary. At that moment she heard in the commentary and held these words: ‘The flowing water Rinses out Any excess dye’ Magic!

Oh Mo i would love to take the plunge and have more vibrant colour... I did have red streaks in my hair when I was younger but someone made a rather derogatory comment and that was it:-( oh to have hair of many rainbow colours it looks awesome in the pic:-) hugs jan xx
