Today is one of those special days. It not only is Surly’s birthday (“Happy Birthday!!”) — it is one of those “special, special” birthdays. A milestone birthday. These need to be ignored! They cause people to engage in endless soul searching and hand wringing about why they aren’t where they thought they should be at this stage in life.
Well, Sally doesn’t need to embark on this exercise in hand wringing. She is just who she should be. Sally is smart, talented and leads an enviable life. She has a great family, lovely home and the perfect sister hobby. She exercises and eats right. What more could anyone ask for?
So, Sally, as you look back over the past cough – er – cough decades, reflect on the fact that you really do have a wonderful life!
Surly is the little one…
So let’s celebrate a life well led and a bright future ahead!!
Love from your Big Sister
Happy birthday, Sally! Hurray for birthdays!!

Happy Special Birthday, Sally! Make it an utterly “knitterly” one!
