Today is a Very Special Day. You see, my sister (my younger sister, she'd be quick to point out!) . . . is FIFTY today!
And, while I certainly want to wish her a Happy Birthday, I also want to note a special anniversary, of sorts.
While she is celebrating fifty years of life. . . we are celebrating fifty years of being sisters! And that is Pretty Darned Special!
To acknowledge both her birthday AND our sisterhood, I'll borrow from Irving Berlin and White Christmas for inspiration.
Sisters! Sisters!
There were never such devoted sisters!
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir!
I'm here to keep my eye on her!
Caring! Sharing!
Every little thing that we are wearing. When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome. . . she wore the dress and I stayed home.
All kinds of weather, we stick together.
Same in the rain or sun.
Two diff'rent faces, but in tight places, we think and we act as one!
Those who've seen us
Know that not a thing could come between us.
Many men have tried to split us up but no one can!
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister. . . and Lord help the sister who comes between me and my man!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DI! You are the best!
Happy Birthday to your wonderful and beautiful sister! You two are a pair made in heaven! :-)
