I "robbed" this photo of her -- taken last week at the Memphis Zoo -- out of cyberspace. I was never this creative or clever when I worked for a living & used computers. [That was why we had tech support.]
I have written about Myrtle appearing in photographs with her eyes closed. Clever her having sunglasses on in this photo. I still bet her eyes are closed.
I have known "Mert" for more years than I can remember. Our friendship started when we both worked for Maybelline cosmetics in Memphis.
Did I get that right ?? 25 years old ??
I was often an "older brother" to Mert & she was the little sister I never had. I am sure if she had been my real sister, I would have hit her, picked on her & made her cry. Think "Indian Rub Burns" & "Noogies".
25 years ?? Something is not right here.
Mert & her husband -- Mart -- have two darling daughters, raising their own young kids out in Idaho. [One of the few states I have never been to.] Myrtle seems to be out there quite often, but not often enough for her.
Wait a minute. These numbers are not adding up. 25 ??
I hope my "special friend" has a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY tomorrow. I miss seeing her now that I am in Arkansas, but I have only myself to blame, being such a recluse & failing to travel much. I still think of her often.
This 25 years old business has me confused. I wonder if I have the numbers backwards ??
Can't be. Myrtle is not THAT old.
I'm only "33", so I KNOW she is only 25 years old.
That settles that.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, "MERTIE".
Happy birthday to Mert. Twenty-five is an awesome age. I hope she enjoys it.
ReplyDeleteI steal pictures from cyber space all the time.
ReplyDeleteWhen you open the dictionary looking for a definition of "sweet" you also get a picture of Sharon Myrtle..."Happy Birthday" also.

Bubba --
ReplyDeleteMyrtle is an living Angel.
I often told her I was counting on HER to get St. Peter to let me into Heaven. I knew I would never make it on my own.
The problem was I would have to kill Myrtle, so I would know she was there ahead of me.
I realized I needed to rethink that idea.

You and Marty are in so much trouble with that photo... It wasn't too bad turning 52, liked it so much I might be 52 again next year. Thanks for the birthday senitiment, but you still aren't forgiven for posting that ugly photo! Marty and I looking forward to seeing you and Kathy at Mosa next month, need to get Bubba there too.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Mert ... it's what "Big Brothers" do to their sisters.
ReplyDeleteI hope we do another 30 years together.
