Dusty Diary officially turns into a decrepit old biddie today.
Dusty Diary secretly enjoys being a decrepit old biddie. At last, a license to be cantankerous, costive, and curmudgeonly. At least I can still correctly spell "curmudgeonly," which not every curmudgeon can do, dangit.
Dusty Diary got a deep, dark, glass of Guinness for her birthday, which is the perfect beverage for toasting another year on this earth, and just about as much of a present as Dusty Diary deserves. Off to go take a dust bath now. Bok bok!
Dear Dusty Diary,
ReplyDeleteYou are far from the decrepit old biddie you say you are. You are, however, something of a curmudgeon, but in a nice way. In other words, Happy Birthday.
From one old biddie to another (or at least I'm getting closer), happy shared birthday!
ReplyDeleteThe Guinness is all yours, though.
Happy birthday! I look forward to being a crabby old lady who sits on my lawn and drinks. Oh wait. I sit on my lawn and drink now. Whatever, happy bday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Dusty Diary!
ReplyDeleteI'm even older than you are, but I don't feel that aged. Enjoy yourself today.
Dusty Diary - Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you are an old biddie, at all! You don't write like one, anyways.
Your labels for this post had me in stitches.
:)
Happy Birthday again - maybe have a(nother) cold one for me. :)
I KNEW it!
ReplyDelete;-)
Happy Birthday, indeed.
All my best.
James: I have known you for so long now that I take absolutely no offense (and actually a secret delight) at being confirmed as a curmudgeon. Thank you for your kind wishes...and for surprising me with a lovely CAKE in the Archives today with Mr. R.!
ReplyDeleteThat was so thoughtful. I saved your card in my "saved cards" file.
Heidi: Oh, is Aug. 7 your birthday, too? Happy birthday! We share it with Garrison Keillor and Mata Hari.
ReplyDeleteTeacher Patti: I have enjoyed your articles on annarbor.com and hope to read more! Thank you for your kindest wishes.
ReplyDeleteIngrid: Thank you for your nice sentiment. I would never have guessed you were older than I am from your lovely smile.
ReplyDeleteJen: In obedience to your command I am having another cold one--there's an hour and 15 minutes more of birthday left, dangit!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
BF: Thank you for your most appreciated nice words. I'm behind on the Mystery Spot update with all this celebratory stuff but it's in the pipeline!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a happy birthday -- it's been a pleasure getting to know you & DH. Any plans now to increase your family to include any pullets???
