Older


The Younger One and I share a birthday.  Today she is 13 and I am somewhat older. Ok, thirty five years older. As it's her birthday let's call her Cleo.

I knew I'd written about our shared birthday before so not wanting to repeat myself, I went to the archives to make a link. I thought I'd written it last year. Nope. Ok then, it must have been 2008.

Nope.

The post was actually 2007

Now that scares me.

Let's just say that thirteen years ago today, I had the best present ever. 

And she made the banners in the photos. Good eh?

Happy birthday to you and your teenager! Don't they grow up quickly and isn't she talented?

Happy Birthday to you both :-)

Have a grand day, eat plenty of cake, sip glasses of chilled white wine, get pampered and I hope a little fairy godmother with a magic wand sends you bags of money.Then you can go forth and buy some new stylish shoes!

Be good, Oh, sod it be reckless, be naughty ;-) TFxx

I'm with the elf, by the way... WRITE! It's so nice to come here and see another new post! For a while there it was all crickets and tumbleweeds.

Your kid sounds cool - great banner!

Oh I am so sorry to be late. I've not even been on Facebook much or else I would have been notified of your special day there/

But what a wonderful coincidence.

Happy Birthday to you and the young one. I hope you had a brilliant day and that the cake tasted especially good. I assume the teenager made one, nicely decorated? You are still younger than I am and always will be, so take heart and you are not a grandma yet. I have been one for 12 years. Ouch!

Karen said...

What a talented young lady :o)

Many happy returns to you both xx

Bit lame and a bit late but still... happy belated birthday ;-)

Lane said...

Thank you everyone. We had a great day and the cake was fab. Peggy F and Teabag enjoyed it too:-)

And to Tom Foolery - I think you'll give in and succumb to pink footwear soon:-)

Chris Stovell said...

Late here but I'm glad you had a happy birthday.

Happy belated birthday x 2

Shirley Wells said...

So sorry I missed your birthday. Facebook should have sent me a reminder. I think they've forgotten I exist.

Anyway, I hope you both enjoyed yourselves thoroughly and were treated like royalty. How great to share the same day.

Those banners are brilliant. You have a very talented teenager there.

Belated Happy Birthday to you both!

A belated birthday greeting for both you and the Younger One, Lane. I haven't kept up with my favorite blogs in October as much as I like with hosting Fun Mondays. Back to normal now!

Did you have to do any maneuvering or delay tactics to have your girl arrive on your birthday? Excellent happening all around. And I think she may have your artistic bent? Best wishes to both of you.
