HAPPY BIRTHDAY,Wilhelmina!

I KNOW that this isn't a correct use of Q&As, but you're [we're] not on Facebook, Twitter, or any of the other social networks. And you only hit 90 (years) once in your life, so I'm breaking the rules to wish you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY here on W&As.

To pull this back onto [W&As] topic, might I announce that sometime before she turns 91, Wilhelmina's first picture book (with illustrations by Georgia Lythgoe, who will be turning 6 in 3 days' time) will be published by a major publishing hut (http://la-granota.com)? So that's another cause for congratulations! If anybody can give me an example of a larger age difference between an author and their illustrator, I'd like to hear about it. So THAT counts as the Q in this Q&A.

BTW, HAPPY BIRTHDAY also to that young slip of a boy, Jummy (who IS on Facebook, but cleverly disguised and lying about his age). At 62, a relatively minor achievement, but I love you, too. (I've only baked the one cake and you'll never know how fiddly it is to get 152 candles onto something even that big. We'll probably burn the hut down.)

And I'll be 24 in December. But Happy Birthday, W! Wasn't the cake amazing? The firefighters certainly liked it. And we managed to save 2 of the 3 laptops!
