My coffee is getting quite cold

as to 'fess up and say
that I'll be on this day

Happy Happy Birthday, Lee.
I offer up a tequila-damiana toast to you! Enjoy!

I've been feeling down because I just turned 59 and my Shimano reel blew up this morning. You turned 90 (congrats) and my reel was 26 years old.
I guess it's all a matter of perspective.David K - 5-22-2011 at 09:54 AM

Oh, yeah? Well TWO can play the poem game :
-----------------------------------------------------
This morning, as I lied in bed
listening to the birds chirp and sing
I tried to recall the reasons why
this Sunday was to be a happy thing
You see, to me, Sundays
have never gone past "okay"
Since it's the time to do chores
and there's school the very next day
But then, it dawned on me
The reason why today would be mighty
"Hey! It's not everyday,
That my Abuelita gets to turn ninety!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Have a very, very happy nintieth birthday, Abuelita! David K - 5-22-2011 at 03:47 PM
Vera very cool Bajalerita, and welcome to Nomad!Bajafun777 - 5-22-2011 at 05:21 PM
Wow, 90 it just seems like yesterday that you were only 50,LOL. Time goes fast so we must use it for FUN every chance we get along the way. Happy
B-Day and many more just keep enjoying life as you go along your merry way. Take Care & Travel Safe---- "No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN"

Just thought I'd post a couple of photos of Bajalera in her younger days. These were also posted on the "Photos-of-us thread."

Oh, this is waayyyy cool. I'm hardly a youngster (except in cosmic terms) but my hat's off to you. Righteous living, no doubt!
And for the record, hey folks: a "poem"? Mighty fine, indeed. But, just a poem...?
I'm not much for writing in rhyme
(not worthy of retort)
but will work as I can at this time
to acknowledge most public
your meter is LIMERICK
may your birthday drink be on my dime.bacquito - 5-23-2011 at 08:02 AM
Happy Birthday-you have quite a devoted Nomad fanclubwilderone - 5-23-2011 at 08:39 AM
Many memories over 90 years
That passing time can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are.
Another year is a happy gift,
So cut your cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"
Wishing you many blessings on your birthday, many more years for many happy memories.Mexitron - 5-23-2011 at 08:46 AM
Way to go Lera! Happy Birthday!Bajatripper - 5-23-2011 at 09:46 AM

You've got that right! The Little One is sooooo much like the Clan Elder, a portion of that is reflected in the poems. Proud of both of them,
actually.Eli - 5-23-2011 at 10:05 AM
