Why all the fuss?

As unlikely as it may seem, Eileen will soon turn 50, beating many of us to the half century mark. The dread of the approaching birthday has been the subject of conversation for some time. Now that it is here, she still looks great and despite the normal wear and tear, such as eyesight, she remains remarkably intact.

To make this a memorable time, I am asking her many friends and family to post comments about her life and friendship and of course to encourage her into the next 50.

So, please log in, (sorry it requires a user name and password), and leave her with what ever comments you care to share, or email comments to: mappleget.eileenis50@blogger.com. Automatically your email will be published to this site along with any attachments such as pictures.

Thanks, Mark

The BIG FIVE-O

Eileen,

I have been watching this blog for the last several days, and noticed all the nice things that family and friends are saying about you. And, although I am sure they are all true, I, as your big brother am concerned.

Each day, more nice things are said, and, I believe that the "Birthday Girl" picture seems to be getting bigger and bigger, making room for a bigger and bigger head. Now, if this continues, it may eventually get so big, that there may not be enough room for all the nice comments.

So, big brother to the rescue (remember I used to kill the spiders in your room?). I have included a link to a song that puts "turning 50" into perspective. Please don't be offended, 'cause many of us have "been there, done that, and take Zantac." So we know how it really is.

And by the way, Happy Birthday.

Love,
Butch
