I have to say sorry
it is so late in the day
to say Happy Birthday,
but I've been really busy
no time to play,
for 'twas moving yard sale day
and those wretched Arctic Skeeters
would not stay away!!!!
But I thought about my friend
right to the end
of the day.
Have a great day,
Mysteria!!!!!
And I have a special gift,
but can you wait?
Will you accept a gift late?
See you soon, with an heirloom
I've carried around
through 32 years of moving,
and I've decided it needs
a new home.
I believe it
rightfully belongs
to you.

Thanks, Ms. Chatterbox. I felt bad about not posting it earlier, but those cursed winged thingies had me on the run all day long.

Oh Kacy when I got this in the mail as a beautiful card I didn't know you posted it here, I am so sorry.  I did thank you and print it out to keep it, with the other cards I received today, but see you were "late" as you say posting due to skeeters, and I was late commenting due to "stoopidity", LOL, thanks again.  I am finally getting excited you are coming and getting ready already.  We will have fun!

There is nothing means more to me than
my faith, my family and my friends.

Kacy,
That's one way to get rid of what won't sell at a yard sale! It's never too late to wish a good friend Happy B'day!

It's never too late to have a good childhood! Woohoo!

LOL at your reply Larry!
Yes and no. This is something special I bought myself in 1970, hauled it all over kingdom come, and now decided it will look best with Sharon's stuff. She can tell what it is after she gets it, not before.
It may not be too exciting for some, but the story behind it is part of my personal history.
Why weren't you at the yard sale?
That's OK, I sold that camel hair bikini.
