Happy October 31st Birthday Letty!

I was planning on wishing you well tomorrow, but, hey, there is gladness in an early birthday!

Ah, Cav. A wishing well. Don't get me started on Disney World.

I'm wishing (I'm wishing)
For the one I love
To find me (to find me)
Today (today)
I'm hoping (I'm hoping)
And I'm dreaming of
The nice things (the nice things)
He'll say

(Repeat)

Reminds me of Butterflys are Free.

and the spoonerism thereof...Flutter byes.

I can see it now...Whoa's Night and the Deven Swarves....

Happy!
Today is also one of my classmates' birthday :wink:

Best wishes to all the people who have birthday today !

Cav, you made me laugh. Now figure this one out:

Booping Sleedy...

Tried to find Eddie Fisher's "Turn back the hands of Time."...in honor of the clock that goes tock in the night.

Back to Eastern standard time.

So Letty, does it matter that I've already wished you a Happy Birthday on another thread? I don't think so, Happy Birthday again, and since you're wishing, here's one just for you:

WISHING
Glenn Miller
- words and music by B.G. DeSylva

Wishing will make it so
Just keep on wishing and cares will go
Dreamers tell us dreams come true
It's no mistake
And wishes are the dreams we dream
When we're awake
The curtain of night will part
If you are certain within your heart
So if you wish long enough, wish strong enough
You will come to know
Wishing will make it so

Sleeping Beauty, I presume.

John Bush. You're lucky to have a Halloween classmate.

Raggedy, Wishing will make it so. Yes, you sweet youngun.

Star bright,
Star light,
First star I've seen tonight.

I wish I may,
I wish I might,
Have this wish I wish tonight.

A witch told you, Cav.

Heh heh...

And so on a parting note this evening, this sweet youngin' wishes a much younger sweet youngin' these sentiments:

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love

And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love

I wish you shelter from the storm
And a cozy fire to keep you warm
And most of all
When snowflakes fall
I wish you love

And when you wish upon a star tonight, remember anything your heart desires may come to you.

I love it when you sing, Letty.

Happy Birthday Letty

haha letty will surely love your gift!

Goodnight, Raggedy, my dear friend. and there comes a time when all must end.

From Peggy Lee <smile>



I've got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the sand.
Lots of idle fingers snap to my command.
A lively pair of heels that kick to beat the band.
Contemplatin' nature can be fascinatin'.Add to these a nose that I can thumb,
And a mouth by gum have I,
To tell the whole damn world if you don't happen to like it deal me out,
Thankyou kindly Pass Me By

Chorus: Pass Me By-y, Pass Me By-y-y.

If you don't happen to like it Pass Me By.

I've got me two great shoes that never saw a shine.
Trousers I can hold up with a laundry line.
A lovely patch that hides an awful lot of spine.
Shirt-tails flyin', I'm a bloomin' dandelion!
Add to these a grin from ear to ear,And all the proper gear have I,
To tell the whole damn world if you don't like the assortment deal me out,
Thankyou kindly Pass Me By

Colorbook, color me happy.

Letty. I thought you were ageless! You? You're having a birthday??? Congratulations on another successful trip around ol' Sol and may there be many more for you.

Many thanks for all the things I have learned from you, among them a deep love for Irish poetry, and so with apologies to W.B.Yeats....

In praise of the Mysterious and Beautiful Letty

"The trees are in their autumn beauty,
The woodland paths are dry,
Under the October twilight the water
Mirrors a still sky;
Upon the brimming water among the stones
Are nine-and-fifty Swans."

And one of them, our Letty own
Sings sweetly all night long.

<Heart>
Piffka

ah, Piffka. That was beautiful, my friend.

I never hear the songs of autumn that I don't think of the phrase:

Golden birds with broken wings.

And from James Joyce:



Sandwich Tern




All day I hear the noise of waters
Making moan,
Sad as the sea-bird is, when going
Forth alone,
He hears the winds cry to the waters'
Monotone.
The grey winds, the cold winds are blowing
Where I go.
I hear the noise of many waters
Far below.
All day, all night, I hear them flowing
To and fro.
All day I hear the noise of waters

Happy Birthday Letty dear sweet Letty :-D

Thar she is. Sweet Montana with the smiling face.

As Roger would say in his succinct way. "Cheated death another year, I see."

Thanks, honey, for remembering Lettylee.

So you're old enough to have a legal drink now, Letty?

Ah, Irish poetry. Perhaps William Butler Yeats said it best after all:

When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book.
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.

...

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

I'll hoist one to your continued health, colleen.

< sob > < sob > that is so sad, but beautiful!
