And so life continued, mix- ing pleasure and toil, Tending the cows and working' the soil. And thus it was till nineteen forty-five, When goodness, gracious sakes alive! 'Twas another baby girl! With the bluest of eyes and hair all a•curl, The years have pass- ed as quick as a *Ink, It really makes one stop—and think, We wish ya uo j Yyou luck; With friends awe wish like ns you're never stuck. We know that you'll a- ree that -the e tfi' st twenty-five, Y ve, have kept you as busy as bees in a hive. Your kindness, your help, in time of need, We've really ap- preciated, yes, indeed. Now we hope you'll be feeling just as "nifty" When the years ring up to lift And now Y it wouldn i ease us a lot If you would aiccept. these gifts that we've brought, From all of us, both far and near, To a couple so charming, so true, so dear: We wish you happiness; We wish you wealth; And most of all, an abundance of health.
