You are a good girl Debi, who notices all the birthdays of fanstorian, well, not everyone, but the ones we are familiar with. Ulla is one of my "oldest" friends, she doesn't believe, but that's ok, she sees us writing about it. Beautifully written my dear friend, blessings Roy

Thanks so much Roy for your kind review and words for Ulla's birthday poem. You are so good to me... (Smiling Big!) She really has led a fascinating life, hasn't she? I know she too will appreciate your lovely comments. Thanks again my dear friend.

Oh, Debi, this is just so wonderful. What a beautiful birthday greeting to receive. As I write this, the tears are filling my eyes. You have just described me in a nutshell and in so beautiful words. Thank you so very much, dear friend. I have had a wonderful day celebrating with my best friends who are visiting me here in Spain from Scotland. You have made my day.
Lots of love, Ulla xxx

First of all, how marvelous to be with friends on your birthday. Hope you are having the time of your life. So many of your friends, including me, are fascinated by your life's adventures and the extraordinary life you have lived. It was a treat to write about you and I can not pin point one part that was my favorite, even tho it was fun imagining you sailing a yacht. Thanks for your gracious words for your poem, as the greatest reward here was mine, knowing that it gave you a smile. I appreciate the six stars you gave to us both. I am tickled beyond words that you were so happy with it, my sweet friend.

Dear, Debi, I am moved beyond words about all the joy you have all given me. I have not only printed out your poem, but also saved it on my pc, so it will be with me forever. Thank you so much again. Lots of love, from me, and a big smile. xxx

I see Covid did not deter you from getting in contact with Ulla (or friends) and discerning more information about her. (You're not about to let a little thing like covid slow you down!) Always fun to read your birthday greetings--Tom ought to hire you and give you everyone's birth-date and you could be the "ambassador of goodwill" here OFFICIALLY! (You already are, unofficially I'd say! Great job on your Merry-go-Rhyme, as ever. Happy birthday to ULLA!

Hey you! I thank you with all my heart for this lovely review and kind words for Ulla?s poem. Appreciate that you realize how it is one thing to not be able to write when you dont feel well, but when someone is relying on you, tha I know she will also enjoy all the kind comments. I appreciate you so very much, my dear friend.

You're always going above and beyond to honor the rest of us.

That was really nice, Debi, I'm sure Ulla is going to love it. She is in Scotland at the moment, visiting friends, so she might not see this until she comes home. I've known Ulla for many years now, and we've 'face talked' on Skype. She has truly had a wonderful life travelling, and she's still doing it! Lol. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Thanks so much Sandra. Yes, I know all about her travels as we have been talking and that is how I got all this info. I am tickled for her that she can do this and deserves this as she has been thru some rough times too. But I promised her I would not be late so after she gave me the missing info, I hoped that she will take a look on date. She is truly everything I wrote about and is lovely like so many others like you who mean so much to me. Thanks for this awesome review and sweet words. You are a gem. Love ya sweet friend.

You did an awesome job, Debi, with your birthday card/tribute
to Ulla. It was upbeat and filled with great personal facts of her
exciting life. Your words fit her perfectly. Your signature style
worked as perfect, too. I loved the monorhyme of the 'ain' sound
on the main longer verses. Your words had smooth flow and were
descriptive. The video was a great choice. I know Ulla will treasure
your sweet card.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Thanks so much Jan for everything! I was feeling pretty rough since catching covid, so wasn't sure if it had turned out. But your kind words made me feel better. And I look forward to your birthday next November. This is the only way that I saw fit to thank my dearest friends for all the awesome reviews since I haven't been able to review much in return. Ulla will appreciate your very kind words for her birthday. Thank you again my dear friend.

First. Haiku is one of my favorite poetic forms. So is Ulla her fanstory name? I would love to check out her profile to read some of her work. Each poem you write for someone is so full of personalitu and warmth. Makes me look forward to my birthday. No pressure. Lol. Thank you for posting. Gretchen

Happy Birthday Ulla...

Debi... you know, you could easily turn your skill on these birthday and anniversary poems into a lucrative business.

But, because I know you do this from your GREAT BIG HEART, the value of the smiles you place on everyone's face and soul is more than money could buy.

It's always an honor to read these...

Blessings to a great day.

John

Most people's life is a voyage. Your choice of the picture reflects it. I like the video too.

You are s good story teller. It is easy to follow her life story. I too will raise a glass but it is going to be tea.

Thanks for sharing
