Happy Birthday Kimberly

Happy Birthday to our Alpha Daughter-lin-law.
It's a hard position to hold and you were very brave to be the first
Fair Maiden
to join this Tobler Clan
dominated by noisey, stinky, Tobler boys.

We are so glad you did.
Your bravery, happy deposition and survival helped convince other Fair Maidens that they to could survive and thrive in the Tobler Clan

Our Ode to Kimberly...

Today there is cause for Great Celebrations and rejoicing in all the lands near and far…

For on this day, not so long ago (at least not to the more ancient ones),

in the land of Apples & Onions a Fair Maiden …a princess was born.


She was beautiful to look upon

and was blessed with the love for all creatures.


This Fair Maiden also loved the written word

and filled her mind with much knowledge.


One day Fair Maiden met a Fairly Handsome Knight

At the great castle of the Red Lion where both were enslaved.


Love blossomed

And the Fairly Handsome Knight brought the Fair Maiden

To his not-so-great-land full of other fairly Handsome Knights

But this land was barren of fair maidens.

This new land…full of knights and barren of fair maidens was

A frightening place for the Fair Maiden.


But her love for the Fairly Handsome Knight was strong.

Her love for the Fairly Handsome Knight was so strong

that it endured a great separation

While the Fairly Handsome Knight fought evil in a land far away.


When he returned from his great crusade

The Fair Maiden and the Fairly Handsome Knight were married.

This brought great joy to the Rulers of the land barren of fair maidens.

For now they had a Fair Maiden in the land that loved Dark Chocolate.


So today there is much rejoicing in the lands near and far

For on this day, not so long ago, a princess, a Fair Maiden, was born

And we all Love that Fair Maiden …very very much

….and for Happily Ever-after.
