Happy Birthday Fabulous!!!
This voluptuous piece of woman is my best friend Nuala (who is also commonly known here as just plain" Nu" )
She is "fabulous at fifty"
Fifty, I am reliably informed , is the new 35!
When my mother was fifty, she looked 65
But that was back in 1975.
When everyone looked fucked!
Happy Birthday dear old friend, I never told you yesterday!
Oh wow! My touchstone is 75, bald and has a beer belly... Damn! Yours wears a red dress and gives a meaning to curves! But, hey... we choose our friends... and damned if we don't choose well!
I remember my grandparents looking ANCIENT as well. My grandfather died when he had a heart attack and fell off the roof and he was only 72. I thought they were REALLY REALLY old, and looking at their photos, they DO look it. I think our parents/grandparents came through the war years old before their time.
Every one needs a best friend to share the good and fun times with and who you can trust with uour inner most secrets. Your very lucky to have Nuala I'm sure she feels the same about you.
Oh dear John, it's nice to read this comment and see that lovely lovely picture. She really must mean a lot to you, that post shines in every inch. Happy birthday to Nuala, may her days be blessed!!
Looking happy to be 50!
