HAPPY BIRTHDAY

 To our wonderful daughter Carol-Ann. 
It doesn't seem 39 years ago when I brought you into the world.

And when you were big enough you took yourself off to see the world.
 Switzerland

 Italy

England
USA, France, Spain, UAE, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and goodness knows where else.

But happily you are now in Sydney close to home. Hope you had a happy day.

    Oh what a sweet post. Happy birthday Carol-Anne!

    My daughter has a birthday today too.
    She took off to see the world as well. Naomi and her family are happily living in Sydney.

    You are lucky to have your birthday girl close by.

    Congratulations with your daughter, also a globetrotter as mine. I think a bit of the parents and a bit of their free mind makes the young woman today to explore the world. The photo of Switzerland is wonderful.

    Switzerland looks great but I am sure think Sydney is better.

    Happy Birthday Carol-Ann. It is my sister June's birthday to-day so I guess you can guess why she was named June! All the best. Ann J

    Happy birthday to your daughter!! Me thinks that the acorn doesn't fall very far from the tree. She has her mother's sense of adventure. :-) The picture in Switzerland is amazing.

    I have to agree, the picture of your daughter in Switzerland is wonderful. I'm glad you have her near you now, however.

    Happy Birthday Carol-Ann! Your parents are blessed with so much love around them, and I can see why getting to know them both. Have a wonderful and "traveling" life.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Carol-Ann! Your Mum is SO proud of you and it's not hard to see why! So glad you don't live far across the ocean from her, but just a short hop on a plane :) I hope you had a wonderful, fun-filled day.

    Happy birthday Carol-Ann.
    What is your secret for retaining such youthful looks? 39?????
    The youngest looking 39 year old that I have seen.
    Maybe a chip off the "old bloke or the, now be careful, blokette!!"?
    Beautiful photography Diane.
    Love the alps one in Switzerland and also the Sydney Harbour sailing shot.
    A week to go and then - QF15. Have a fun time. Looking forward to reports and this time no Banffffffff!
