Happy Birthday to you Ariya !
Wish you all the very best of everything this year , and in all the years ahead .
Have a Happy Birthday Celebration with Thavam , children and grandchildren.
By the way- we all missed you , while we were having a good time at Beruwala , just less than 8 wks ago . See you and Thavam, somewhere, someplace sooner than later , as Time Moves On .
Good Wishes coming flying in to you and Thavam – from the wings of eagledeepthie across the Big Pond !
My dear friend, Deepthie,
Thank you for your sincere greetings
We should restart our usual chit chats
Who would describe the beauty of a lake
Frozen and fill with snow as well as you can
You are the live wire of the batch to keep us moving
What those eagles are doing we are badly missing
Your adoptabilty to circumstances and different places
When described in your inimitable stayle is really something
So keep the conversation via the web going
Live wires are not many & no new ones coming
So my dear friend keep that vivacious appetite going
And thrill your mates with your phenomenal writing
No one can describe the sky like you
Even iced filled lake comes alive with you
Gift of writing is precious and only a few can
So my dear friend pull out that camera & the pen
Ariya
Dear Ariya, We wish you a very happy birthday and ,many more years of good health and happiness with Thavam.
We moved to Toronto after 30 yrs in Newfoundland! A stressful time, but now our apt is beginning to look like a home!
We hope to see you and Thavam sometime next year
Till then, take care and many blessings,

Not only mine you do brighten lives of all acquaintances
