I'm a couple days late with this message, but seeing as how I arrived on your birthday I guess I'm good. 
 
 Older is older you always say. 
 Older looks good on you I say. 
 
 I'm so glad I could arrive on your birthday. Big red bow, flamingo watering can& all! 
 
 I'm sorry the carrot cake cooling on the counter looks like a deflated Jabba the Hut. 
 
 Being here with you is absolute perfection. 
 
 Happy Birthday Mama! 
 Here's to funky carrot cake, grouper sliders and the best damn calamari this side of PG :) 
 
 I love you to the moon & back always and forever... 
 
 P.s. I'm well into the gin we bought yesterday ;)
