I posted this lovely little video as a un-birthday gift for all of you. Thanks for being part of my life and helping to make my 33rd year so wonderful. Enjoy.
She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies: And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress Or softly lightens o'er her face: Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling -place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!
Happy Birthday! and what kind of rifle did you get? Sorry I couldn't stay for the video, shared computer and the conference is about to start up again. Many more years of great shooting, writing and for you, beer drinking. Take care out there in Library Land.
my girl will be 54 june 9, so for three months i can tell folks i hav an older woman...still she gets carded buying wine and i'm offered the senior citizen discount at drive-thrus...sigh.
and our (younger) daughter will be 34 in november...sigh again.

Happy birthday and God Bless you for the gift you are to the World!

Hey Happy Birthday! SO what new gun did you pick out? Sounds like a good excuse to head down the range and celebrate to me. . . .
ReplyDeleteShe walks in beauty, like the night
ReplyDeleteOf cloudless climes and starry skies:
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress
Or softly lightens o'er her face:
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling -place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

Happy Birthday!
