Happy Birthday Lynn!

I consider myself very lucky to still be friends with some of the people I went to primary school with - one of them being Lynn, a girl I used to do calisthenics with as well, has celebrated her 50th Birthday.

It is so great that we have been able to keep in touch - thanks to modern technology ;-)

So, here is the card I made for her.

The verse reads:

A Birthday Workout

Hike across green Ireland;

Bike the USA;

Backpack through New Zealand,

But don’t call it a day…

Do yoga in lovely Paris;

Jump rope in Katmandu;

Avoid Italian pasta,

(Well, maybe taste, but don’t you chew!)

Climb atop Mt. Everest;

Do aerobics on China’s Wall;

Lift weights on Mexican Beaches;

And honey, that’s not all…

Shake your booty with native dances

In Fiji and Bora Bora;

Move your body and exercise

Like you’ve never done befora.

Okay; that’s good; you’re finished;

Now you can take a break;

You’ve finally burned enough calories

To have your birthday cake!

Here we are at Lynn's birthday 1970 (we think!).....
