a year ago today....

so much joy in these memories from last year...

Happy 40 Elizabeth!

(From the Swansons)

CHORUS

Ain’t no little bit, about Elizabeth

Gotta go big or go home

Ain’t no little bit, about Elizabeth

Now over the hill she goes

Goin’ for a run at 5 in the morn in the cold and the dark and the rain

Deliverin’ babies in the middle of the night, and you never hear her complain (almost never)

Big feet and her kick ass stroke make her glide like a fish in the pool

And the rare time when she rides her bike, she makes everyone feel like a fool!

CHORUS

She makes a mean almond tort and it’s all gluten free

Stuff over rice is always nice, don’t need no recipe

She does arts and she does crafts and she does it all so well

And the only time that she needs to shop? When the sales on at Oiselle!

CHORUS

Long runs on a Sunday morn, Garmin on your wrist

Finding all the honey buckets, checkin’ em off your list.

Old gray mare got a few gray hairs but it makes your head look bright

Make you shine like a beacon of light when you’re chartin’ in the middle of the night

CHORUS

Tells everyone to lower the bar but she never does it for herself,

Some things are just easier to say when you’re saying it to somebody else.

Happy birthday comin’ soon, hope you have 40 more

We sure are so glad to have you livin’ right next door!

CHORUS
