Happy Birthday!

---

This old gal…

Was once told she had a twin…a doppelgänger….who worked at a bike shop downtown…

Had to check it out of course…just saunter in…pretend to browse the bikes…get a glimpse or two perhaps…of this mystery woman…

But the store was small…empty…no way to be inconspicuous…and soon came face to face…with look-a-like me…younger…taller…a more flattering version…to be sure…

And so it is…today…we celebrate twins…and birthdays…birthday twins…that brother from a different mother…

Went to high school together…played in the band together…played the same instrument in fact…

And years later…like years and years later…we…have become friends…good friends…thanks…to the Ramblings…of an old gal…

Husband…dad…grandpa…clever…witty…wise…a valued reader and cheerleader…of a girl…with a writing dream…

So happy birthday…Birthday Twin…thanks for being a faithful follower…and an even better…friend…
​
And Birthday Me…agrees…
