Go 70 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Dianne over at Schmidley’s Scribblings is 70 today. Many happies, Dianne!
First, a joke for you:
John is shopping when he meets his friend Paul outside a jeweller’s shop. Paul is holding a small, gift-wrapped box.
‘Hi Paul! What have you got there?’ John asked.
‘It’s the wife’s seventieth birthday tomorrow. I asked her what she wanted and she said, “Something with lots of diamonds in it,” so I bought her two packs of playing cards.’

Next, a picture. I Google Imaged ’Schmidley’ and this is what came up:
It seemed apt.

Finally, a poem:
Dianne is seventy today
She made her years go a long way
She has several degrees
Two gardening knees
A parrot, and husband for play
*
Happy birthday, Dianne!

What a lovely birthday present for Diane. I enjoyed it too, being of a similar but greater age.
Say the word and you shall have a birthday post of your very own when the time comes (I can just recycle poems I’ve already written for you
)
I loved the poem, it’s a delightfully cheerful poem and tells us all about the lovely Diane. Very thoughtful of you Tilly.
Great poem, very nice of you to do a birthday poem – very thoughtful …. and the joke excellent too. *smile
What a lovely post! And happy birthday to Diane!
I loved the cards story. A very happy birthday to Diane!
70′s the new 40.
Welcome to middle age, Shmidley.
Oh to be 70 again!
When you get to 140 – it could happen, the way science is going – you can celebrate it again, twice.
Happy birthday Dianne!
Actually, what am I doing saying that here, I’m off to hers to say it there…
Oh Thanks to you Tilly and all your kind readers. BTW David doesn’t play much anymore. We went out for lunch and he had the same problem you had a few weeks ago and he barely made it home. So much excitment, I can hardly take it. I broke out my trifocals to read the cartoon. Your cartoon guy can have cake with bacon. I’ll take the vanilla cheesecake and glass of Zinfandel I had for lunch, Thank you. Dianne
PS loved the diamond joke.
I’m glad you liked it
I know you have more birds than I mentioned, but I couldn’t make them fit.
