Hi Lily

Happy B Day, funny lady. Such wit with your humor.

We share very close birthdays, along with Michael Jackson, and long ago and far away when you were cavorting with Goldie Hawn et al someone told me that I looked like you.  Not exactly, but…I will be having IY"H a birthday party tomorrow and I will think of you with admiration sisterhood, and lift a glass. I love birthdays, after all, they were the days when we were born.

Fondly

Happy birthday to a most brilliant Virgo mind! I’ve loved you from the first, when I caught glimpses of you on Laugh In before my mother caught me watching and made me turn it off. I was only four, I didn’t know why, I only knew you were wonderful!

Aren’t Virgos amazing?! I’m totally incompatible with them in a lot of ways, yet still deeply fascinating by them; ALL my favorite artists (especially the infinite list of musicians - wow) happen to be Virgo. I guess it’s the sharp analytical/critical mind that gets the creative juices flowing.

A lot of them also happen to be quite a bit insane, too, I’ve noticed. But in a good way. …usually. Except for maybe my mother. lol

You’re right.  Being a Virgo myself, I’ll gladly own up to the "quite a bit insane" label, and thank you for it!  Being nutty gets me left to my own devices you see.  We have a very active dreamy life behind the analytical/critical mind. Produces all sorts of odd bits.

Happy, happier, happiest birthday, fellow-Virgo! You’ve given me so many laughs over the years, touched me in many ways, and always make me glad to share the world with you. Celebrate in style, get the piece of cake with the extra frosting on it, and enjoy this day: it’s yours!

Wishing you good wishes on your day of Best Wishes and while I am wishing you all these swell wishes, I wish you could retrieve Edith Ann from wherever she might be hiding and bring her back to the alley or the sandbox cuz we little people here miss her something fierce. I thank you kindly.

P.s. thanks for all the laughter you have given us.

Of course you realize now that Edith now is actually the oldest living 5-1/2-year old!
