Celebration for Sapphire! - Part 1.

 

My SAPPHIRE!  BLESSINGS ON YOUR BIRTHDAY. You are celebrating your  ??? rd birthday, and the ladies in our Bible Class love you and your sparkle! I guess today was the first time that you celebrated your birthday out in the “sticks” and in Cotacachi, Ecuador!

It’s your birthday! You are the one who is growing older! By the look and laughter on her face, it seems like it is a fun thing to do!

We’re all younger than you! Are we????

Hey! Watch it girls. Don’t get mud on your party attire. Strange hats in Cotacachi. You can stick your arm through them! But they’re effective -  when there is no sun!

Imagine having a birthday party in dense bush, with a non-active volcano silently observing you!

They look pretty fit. Test up front ladies! I hope you will have enough breath left to smile.

Okay Sapphire! Let’s see what a . . . .  year old can do. Wow, you sure can pump away!

And . . . . . it gets better every second, while others . . . . . . .

Puffffff . . . . . away . . . . without any results . . . . . .

And some are so creative that they can even create a mouse!

Others just blast away and beat the rest!

But they never give up – even if they come from FINLAND!!!!

And even if they are the most senior in the group . . . .! My Gems reach their goals!

Time to wish the Birthday Girl. That’s it! Push out those lips. She deserves to be congratulated!

This is quite a strain! Come on! You can do it! I did!

What’s the problem? Too tall? Too short?

The more you try, the funnier it gets!

Next up! Join Joan – our delightful Sapphire! Come join in the fun!
