Beth is Turning 75

Linda & Sue, 

 
Today is a very special day, my best girlfriend turns 75.  In life you meet a lot of friends, but there is always someone who you hold near and dear to your heart, that is Beth, my Sista.  We met over 20+ years ago on a golf course in Southport, North Carolina and it was just that God Wink…we were meant to be in each other’s life.  We have had many adventures traveling in North & South Carolina, Georgia, Florida at Disney & Universal for Harry Potter because we both loved the books, but our grand adventure was our journey to India in 2005, a trip of a lifetime. 
 
Beth has been there for me in tough times too, when my husband had open heart surgery in 2012 at the Cleveland Clinic.  We kept ourselves busy when she bought the newspaper and we found the Wonderword puzzle together and we haven’t stopped playing. She’s my sister-by-choice…we always end up laughing, love Thai food, we were in bookclub together for years, and are truly there for one another through it all. She keeps me grounded when I’m going in all directions and I do the same for Beth. We have both been so blessed to find one another.  So on this day we celebrate you Beth…Sista’s forever…BFF’s! Love ya girl! Julia 

A Message from the Wonderword Team

Hi Julia,

Thank you for sharing your special day with us.

I, too, have made a lot of friends along my life’s journey. In fact I had one here to spend a week with me who just left yesterday. We have known each other for 60 years and great friends for 50 years. We also have a friend in common with the same timeframe. I consider myself lucky to be able to call them and vice versa.

I miss all my family members who have since died. Mother Jo Inventor of Wonderword, free-lance writer and volunteer extraordinaire, Brother Gary Lawyer, world class magician who designed illusions for Davd Copperfield and others, lobbyist and artist, brother Jay a chiropractor who should have known better after all my warnings  Cause of death in all: Smoking. I stopped 20 years ago.

If I were to live in the USA I would choose North Carolina. I have been there many times. The people are super friendly and the weather is milder than in Toronto Canada.

We save something in Common. We loved to travel but can’t because wifey has a serious neurological condition that requires her to stay home. We have been to Thailand, Tahiti, Hong Kong and Hawai’I and took more than 30 cruises together. Such great memories. But not to India which I would love because I love their food. Unfortunately when I was in Thailand, I was spoiled by their food so much that no Thai food pleases me in Toronto despite having 250+ of them.

Glad to read that you are Wonderword addicts! I read that you and Beth are BFFs. Wonderful.

Here’s a blurb for you:

To my BFF Beth: I had a custom made Wonderword for you today on your 75th birthday. We have been through thick and thin together and I enjoyed every bump in the road. Our best though was our trip to India. Even the long plane ride. Loved every second Thank you for being my BFF.

By The way, Sue’s daughter is named Julia, as is my first cousin once removed and my dear, dear late paternal grandmother.

I wish you all the best and thank you for using Wonderword for conveying your eternal friendship.

Sincerely,

David Ouellet
