I know she's gonna kill me, but I just had* to write this lil' ole poem for my twin sister...she deserves abit of a payback. Couple years ago, she'd gotten me a card with a picture of a cat all furred out on it ("MRROOOWWWW!"); the caption on the inside said, "I'm sorry...old people scare me." Waitaminnit!! I'm only 11 minutes lder!!! "The fact is, Karla," she said, sweetly, "you're older than me, you'll always BE older than me." So, this is a payback. LOVE YOU, KAREN!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! (((HUGS))) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 43??? How can this be?? There is no WAY I can be that old!! Though my body is telling me so... Aches and pains are racing through my joints, They spare none, don't want to disappoint, Want all of them to share in the fun, Why limit the excitement to one?? I'll have to invest in some Ben Gay, Make sure my joints are feelin' okay! 43??? How can this be??? Look at the silver that's in my hair!! Oh, no...wrinkles showing everywhere!!!! I'll have to buy Oil of Olay... Heck, I'll have to buy the whole display!!!! I'll never get "carded" anymore... They think I'm young...Karla sure gets sore!! They think I'm her daughter, not her twin, No more...not with older looking skin! 43??? How can this be??? HOW can this BE?????? --------------------------------------------------------------------------
My twin sister, Karen, and I are going to be 43 (!!) on June 26. If you would, & I'd be so grateful, drop her a happy birthday type message...she's been a bit depressed lately, and I want to show her she has lots of friends at Author's Den. Thank you so much! I wanna make her day. (You guys are great!!) (((HUGS)))--Love, Karla.

Karla, cute, cute poem. I'm new and just learning my way 'round the den. Tell Karen
I said I'm 40 in October and looking forward to ages to come. To see the beauty in her age she can see herself in the reflection of the love she feels when she sees you. Our society need the wisdom and beauty of age more than ever now. Love Vicky Jeter
