    1. Off Topic - Help with Congratulations
    2. Hi all- I could use some input here. Our daughter Fiona is graduating high school in June, and has requested that we, her parents, put an "ad" in her class yearbook. She has specified that we use a certain photo of her as a wee tot at Threave Castle, and she said whe wanted something from Burns. So, we chose "O saw ye Bonnie Lesley," etc., with Lesley changed to Lassie). All we need is a closing. My husband Gerry says that "Slainte, Fiona!" isn't really appropriate, and he's probably right. Does anyone out there have any suggestions for something in gaelic along the lines of "Well done!" or "Congratulations!"...? Also, how about something simply like, "We love you"...? I have a huge 24 hours to get this to the yearbook editor... Thanks for your help! Steffenie (Kirkpatrick)
