from the Slacker

Ginger, 
I tried to do a special "Conversations with Nala" but I got interrupted midway through, and then Nala wouldn't participate after that.  So, it didn't work out.  But I still may work on one for a later date.  
Anyway, I'm very happy that you're Tricia's best friend.  And still happy that you're not a man or she's not a man.  
Happy Birthday!  Can't wait to see you soon! 
Love, M@

Happy Birthday from Buenos Aires, Argentina!!! 
I thought these pictures would remind you of the days of youth, ha! 
You were always the older, wiser brothel mate that we loved and still love to this day. 
I hope your 30th is unforgettable and everything you hoped it would be. 
Love you Ginger!

Happy Birthday Ginja!

My Dear Friend Ginja
Is truly a ninja!
We met, and the ping!
What a friend God did bring!
I'm as happy as a clam
When we're tilling the land
You're as strong as an ox

And you wear really cool socks!
You run like the breeze
And you're not afraid of fleas!
You can really bust a move
Man do you groove!
How I love to adventure and live life with you!
Thank you for being my friend so true
I love you!

Love, Alainie

Wishes

Happy 30th Birthday GingeRutHenry!!

Ginger...you are one amazing lady and I am truly grateful to have you in my life.  You are one of my favorite people in this world and a lot of my favorite times and memories have you in them! You are genuine, compassionate, silly, intelligent (minus the only eating nuts and no fluids prior to OR work!)  and so much more!  You are quite unique and can without a doubt say that I know no one else quite like you.  And I mean that in a very good way!  I know I have said it before, but I am so amazed and inspired by your service with Mercy Ships and your heart that drives you!
I am so grateful for all of the times we have been able to share.  The Cookie Tour of 2011 definitely is at the top of the list.  I still can't believe I was able to get there and am so glad I got to share it with you.  You were the best traveling pal!  



Here are a few other times/things at the top of my Ginger list...When that dog rearranged the furniture on New Year's Eve in Charleston, SC, Mamie Thurman exhibit in Logan County, friendly employee at Scranton Welcome Center, you finding your white cardigan in the alley (I mean really!), picking "Kroger" apples with you, your mom's prize winning jelly and your dad's line about Jumping in the shower and of course introducing me to Tricia...just to name a few! 
I hope you have a wonderful 30th Birthday!! Pretty cool that you are celebrating in Africa! I was a work for mine :) Just another reason you are one unique lady! I hope you know how much you are loved.  I look forward to more adventures and random times with you my friend. And maybe just maybe a trip to WI.   Love and miss you!  Alicia

You are amazing. Have a great day and be blessed
Love you lots and lots
