A Birthday Surprise

All these years together, and rarely did I get an actual Birthday Present from dear Willy...well, I think he made up for it this year. It must be a retirement thing to gather your new toys together. The only thing is~~~

too bad this 20 ft. beauty is just resting its floats within our extended yard. My niece needed a place to temporarily store their new toy. They did, however, promise to take us out, sometime!!!

I did have a wonderful birthday with greeting galore by personal visits, phone calls, so very many wishes. Thank you all for your kindnesses.

Paula asked, if we were dressed alike as twins. I do not recall many times, but by photo reminders. Our folks said that sometimes, raising twins with two older sisters, all of us born within 3 years, was like pulling teeth. Here's a bit of ironic truth.

A string was tied to a tooth and the other end to the door. The rest is history. Ouch! Click on the picture to enlarge it. You can see the string that is tied to my tooth. So nice of Doug to hold a mirror for me while he slams the door.

More often, Paula, you would more likely to see

my baby sister and I dressed alike. The funny thing was, it was never, ever planned. We would walk out of different bedrooms with the same thing on. This time, it was at her home in TX., the day Bill, son Andy and I were about to head back up north. When this happened, it gave Andy the chills. Just, what's the chance of this happening! We even say the same thing at the same time.

Not only with our clothes, but while shopping or looking at plants, reading a greeting card off the shelf, we would so often, pick up the very same thing to show to one another. It happens not only with Colleen, but also with Mel and Cher. It has to be because we are all so close-hearted. Our interests are so alike. Actually, what could be more fun. Growing up and old together has been such a pleasure.

One thing, however, even tho our guys are quite similar in interests, thank God they are so different. That would just be too creepy, if they all started shopping alike. I can see it now. ROFLMAO

Thanks for hopping over for a sec of your time.
