All Hail The Queen!

In our world you rule with majesty and grace.

When there are times of trouble or hardship in the land, you are quick to respond with loving care and sincerity, meeting the needs of your adoring subjects willingly.

My people are always welcome to eat at your table, and no matter what you may say, to us it is always a feast.

Mediating small disruptions in the land between your princes and princesses and their dukes and duchesses is no problem for a Queen like you.

Bringing yourself to the people is obviously a top priority. We have felt your interest in our lives as you visit with us, care for us and make yourself accessible through various technological means which some "of a certain age" might find foreign and difficult to use. But you, dear Queen, march right in and conquer!

As Queen you are not satisfied to sit back and watch life happen to others. Instead, you like to keep us on our toes and spring a royal surprise every now and then - some so fantastic we would never have seen coming! It is in moments like these that we all realize once again, "Oh, that is one of the reasons she is the Queen."

Dear Queen, you have led our little country faithfully for many years now. There have been difficult times. You have weathered. There have been times of sorrow. You have mourned. There have been times of joy and gladness. You have smiled. There have been times of comedy. You have laughed till your royal knickers shook.

Now it is your birthday, Queen. And though we'd like to shut down the country and have a big old party just for you, we know that is not what you would like. As the Queen commands, so doeth the people. Instead we will let you know, just one more time, that we think you are one of the greatest rulers of all time. We hold you in the highest esteem and thank our Father in Heaven for bestowing upon us such a benevolent and loving mother to be our leader and example and best friend.

All Hail The Queen Vee!

I hail the Queen with all my being! If I could, I would write a play and put on a command performance just for her birthday.

Thank you for this wonderful tribute, Princess Samantha.

Happy Birthday Queen Vee! We adore you!

We (that would be the royal WE) are filled with great joy and honor by all the lovely Birthday greetings. I would treat you all to a royal birthday banquet with one stupendous cake if it were possible to gather you all together.

Alas, WE can only thank you for all the kind remarks and good wishes on my behalf.

Thank you one and all, especially Princess Samantha, for your gracious and somewhat verbose birthday tributes. I bestow upon all of you my most grateful love and appreciation.

And now I go forth to hopefully reign benevolantly for a few more years.

If you're married to The Queen, shouldn't you be the King, or at least, the Prince Consort?

All I am is a doofus Kernal. Just ask the Queen.

Happy Birthday, Queenie, the Babe of Nashville.

I probably should have commented here to say Happy Birthday Queen of Vee ... Virginia, etc, but I went to facebook.

Now I'm sharing the love with you a few days late.
