The Twins--The Puzzle

So, if you had kept up with the early years of Wendy and Stuart, this will be easy. If you did not keep up with those years, this will be more difficult, but quite interesting.

Peggy has been a trailblazer on these puzzles, having wresteled them to the ground quite efficiently, wordsmith that she is.

Those in need of direction and assistance on the first puzzle, need only consult Peg for guidance. Sometimes, though, she is stingy with answers. Her typical excuse is that she has not yet gotten to the puzzle--the first one that is Do not believe her!!!!!!

The link blow will take you to the second puzzle and more fun. Go for it; try hard, then contact Peg.

Really, I've been disparaged by my kid and marginalized by my siblings -- all they did for my birthday were some no-tech sweats with a crypto-equation from a cave wall in ....southern Ohio probably. I am turning in that outfit for sure. Party on bloggo's. You may be mustard and custard but I am the floating island. Peg

From David Frankel

60 huh??! Wow! And Mom - you're ALWAYS going to be older than Stu, which means you'll be 60 (i.e. old) before he will! :)

All joking aside, I'm looking forward to celebrating with both of you!

From Jon Schwartz and Marcee Harris

Ola Auntie W & Uncle Stu. Well, I have to say that you are both more technologically advanced than my madre--that's for sure. Though Peggy has recently conquered the art of uploading pictures to ofoto, a blogger she is not:) Love the blog and talk to you both soon. Happy (early) b-day. -Nephew J

From Franny Lazarus

I agree with Laura. 60. Wow. And you're making a blog. Do you have any idea how impressive that is? Steve Jobs has nothing on you.

From Laura Frankel

Happy 60th you 2! It's been wonderful to have you in my life for 24 of the 60. That's a scary thought, wow you're old :) Glad to be part of the beta stage. How hip and cool for two 60 year olds to have a birthday blog. Mom- thanks to Stu, you two are so ahead of your time. Love you loads

From Wendy Lazarus

BUT ISN'T IT ABOUT HOW YOU AGE?
I may be older --and have always been more mature than Stu-- but have a look at the grown up kids photo and see where the "grey"is coming from.

Speaking of age, Stu and I are truly grateful that our friends span all ages. So, whether you have trouble writing and want to dictate something to your Mom or to your daughter-- or whether you can type fine you just can't spell all that well, come join our party!

Wendy Is Still Older

Remember when being older used to be a GOOD thing! Well, Wendy is 4 minutes older than Stuart, so she hits the big 60 long before he does. But, they are celebrating it together and wonder if you would leave a comment for them on this momentous occasion.

Sure, the big day is not for a few months, but they "think" they have a lot of friends who will leave a comment here. If you are one of those people, just click "down there" where it says comment; right next to the little symbol which looks like a pencil. Every few days, we'll turn these comments into posts which will show up more easily.
