Another poem

Dear Rachel Lindsey Wells,


Just a little note on October twenty-fourth
From your sister in the South who still lives to your north
Youu don't need me to enjoy celebrating your day
But I still wish I was nearby to give a hug and say:

YOU'RE GETTING OLD!

Welcome to The Land of Closer to Thirty Than Twenty. While living here, you'll often be snobbed on survey boxes. Not in the 18-25 category anymore, sister. Get your own box. On the plus side of this estate is the clarity of whether or not you should buy _______. Does it look like a 15 year-old would wear it to a birthday party? It's not for you. You're too mature for that now.

No, seriously. I'm so proud of who you are at 26. Closer to thirty than twenty means more stories to share, and a little less identity crisis. (Not that you've really struggled with that much in the first place. LA.)

You are awesome, and I posted it on my blog for the whole world to know! So this is like my card in the mail, and as for a gift, I shot you some pictures this morning of the leaves changing. You can't get that in Hawaii! Also, the fam got you a windsurfing lesson. You can get that in Hawaii. Go down to Kailua Sailboards and Kayak and check stuff out. I'm not sure if Dad paid for that specifically or left it open for you to spend the money how you wish.

    Yes, I'm getting older, but don't forget you are too!
    You'll always be older than me sis, and I'll always love you!

    Larlo --
    Wow!!-- pictures, stories, poems, video clips,and less only 3 weeks since the previous post -- what vitamins are you on?? You're halfway to a new song -- just put some music with Ben's Ode.
    The grin caused by listening to Ben's laugh is magnified by hearing Linda getting tickled. Maybe next time, you should hold the camera on her.
    No problem here with your drug policy, but looking at the frequency (30 stars in 3 days) does wrinkle the brow a bit! Glad the flu is all gone now and hope it does not return to your house.

    sooo--maybe you figured out my comments above should have been in the musings for your 10/21/09 post. Maybe you are also clever enough to move them to the right spot!
