Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Aunt Lisa! I hope you have a great day! I thought I would write as many fond memories about my sister as she is years old, BUT, I don't have that much time. Ha! So, anyway, since you are 10 years older than me, Ten will have to do.

Mandy's Top Ten Good Times with Lisa list! (in no particular order)


10-Watching Betty Boop Videos at your house when I was about 8, and running away from the bees that hung around your lilac bushes.
9-Almost falling out of the Volkswagon Bug car when we turned the corner and the door opened.
8-Sleeping over in your bed and having snorting contests. You always won.
7- You drowning the gnat in my ear and getting it out for me. (Thanks again)
6- Playing chase when I was just a wee small girl, you armed with a broom.
5- Spending the summers with you, getting our nails done, dressing up pretty, going to dinner and having soooo much fun!
4- Driving to the beach, no wait, the airport, in my swimming suit.
3-Playing games with you, deciding that Dad secretly worked for the gas company.
2- Sleeping with "the dogs" in New Mexico.
1- Watching you pick out the rice from the crust you were blind baking.

Lisa, you are my favorite sister and my best friend. You have been such a good support and example to me my whole life. I have been so blessed to have you for a sister. I love you, and hope you have a great birthday!

Why thank you! I'm getting a lot more publicity this year than I anticipated! :-)

Let's see, some smart....er, responses to my dear sister:

10-Watching Betty Boop Videos at your house when I was about 8, and running away from the bees that hung around your lilac bushes.

I've forgotten the Betty Boop part, but do remember the lilac bushes...


9-Almost falling out of the Volkswagon Bug car when we turned the corner and the door opened.

Did we ever figure out what happened to that video tape?

8-Sleeping over in your bed and having snorting contests. You always won.

Yep, the queen and reigning champion snorter!

7- You drowning the gnat in my ear and getting it out for me. (Thanks again)

Don't mention it! :-)

6- Playing chase when I was just a wee small girl, you armed with a broom.

~stifles evil cackle~ Actually, I've felt guilty about that for the better part of 40 years (OK maybe 20).

5- Spending the summers with you, getting our nails done, dressing up pretty, going to dinner and having soooo much fun!

~big sigh~ - those were the days!

4- Driving to the beach, no wait, the airport, in my swimming suit.

Heh

3-Playing games with you, deciding that Dad secretly worked for the gas company.

Well, he could have worked for the gas company.....this one still cracks me up.

2- Sleeping with "the dogs" in New Mexico.

Woof

1- Watching you pick out the rice from the crust you were blind baking.

Ah, to be so easily amused.....
