Usual stuff for the birthday: the nice breakfast, cakes, her favorite evenign dinner and the thing she loves the most: Stories from the old days. So with my older sister (with husband and kid) and younger one we had a lot of stories to tell to her about the gold old days.

Hey Toon, if she likes old story's send her over to me. I sure remember some stuff you did when you were much and much younger.
Like the day you said to us "tomorrow I come to school completely bald".Have to admit my dear friend, you're a man of his word and conviction ;-)

Cool runnings,
Emmanuel
