Birthday Update!

We dodged the 27 Club …

And celebrated our 28th birthday yesterday! It was the hottest day of the year so far, which in the UK just means a wonderful 28°C (82°F), and we loved every second of it.

Of course, the many messages we received from you throughout the day made it even better, so we want to say a genuine thank you for all the love. It never fails to blow us away.

For today, we initially planned on filming a present-unboxing video of all the things you crazy people sent us (just like last year) but got notified that there are quite a few parcels that are still in transit and will probably arrive within the next few days.

We decided to film it next week instead so we can thank everyone properly! 🙂

Today we just want to check in with a quick update, hello and a big “Thank You” already.

Also, please make sure to submit any more “Twin Life” related questions here (if you have any) because we are planning on filming that themed Q&A in the next couple of weeks, too. The two of us have spent 28 years closely together, so there is a lot to talk about! 🙂

Lot and lots of love,
Mona & Lisa

  1. s Ihr am 19.06. Geburtstag habt. Nun habe ich den Eindruck, es ist am 16.06. Ich würde ja gern haben, dass mein Geschenk bei Euch rechtzeitig ankommt. Wann ist nun Euer Geburtstag? Am 16. oder 19.06.?

  2. I missed that sweeties! Happy Happy… Belated as it is! I was going to comment on “being a twin’ because I have aunt’s that are twins! The only ay we could tell them apart mostly was since one had swallowed a safety pin, she wad scarred on her throat!! And the other ran into a patio glass and hers was on her wrist!! It’s a family thing!! lol Happy Rockin’ On to ya’s!! 🙂

  3. Man I can’t believe you’re 28 already! STOP AGING! Glad you didn’t join the 27 club as well, that would have broken so many of our hearts for sure. Keep on twin-ing!

  4. Happy Birthday! It appears from the video you had a good one. It’s kind of neat that your birthday is close to Sir Paul’s. I would’ve been surprised if you hadn’t escaped the 27 Club; you seem so wholesome, and that really didn’t apply to many in the club.
    As for twin questions, it would be interesting to know if you ever dated twins, and, if so, how it turned out..

  5. A very Happy Birthday Mona and Lisa!!! Well, belated birthday since it’s Saturday night in Albion NY. I’m late. I’m always late. Hope you had a Wonderful Day!!!

  6. Hi girls, Happy Birthday to you good luck, much money and what ever you want by

    yourself. Hope you’ve got a nice and wonderful BIRTH :DAY

    stay groovy

  7. Hello Girls and Happy Birthday….there seems to be 2 main comments from everybody…happy birthday and weather temps….I left my birthday wishes for you on an instagram comment and here in Dallas / Ft Worth we had 4 consecutive days between 100-106…I’m looking forward to next weeks unwrapping of presents video…you always get some great gifts and I enjoy watching the unveiling….I always love what you do and THANK YOU for doing it ❤️????

  8. Happy 28th Birthday Mona and Lisa. Nice to see you smiling.
    We had a couple days of that heat but it’s cooled off today.
    You bring a lot of joy to us, here’s for a great year ahead.

  9. Happiest of Birthdays. Congrats for surviving. Best in the next year as well. We’re dealing with COVID here but that’s life isn’t it? Luckily were fully vaxxed so only minor symptoms and should pass quickly. Stay healthy all.

  10. Hi ladies, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday dear Mona and Lisa Happy Birthday to you, and MANY MORE!!!!!!!!!! Stay Groovy!!!

  11. Happy belated birthday, ladies! 🙂 (I mentioned your birthday to a few people yesterday, but forgot to come here and actually say “Happy Birthday” directly to you LOL – sorry about that) But here is me wearing your t-shirt at the quiz night, on your birthday. 😉 My team finished in 2nd place, so I didn’t manage to celebrate the occasion with a proper victory, but oh well 😛 )

    1. Haha, that’s great. Second place is not bad at all so we hope our shirt helped in that! (Next time, wear a second MLT shirt underneath and you’ll make first place!).
      Enjoy the rest of your weekend 🙂

  12. Glad your Birthdays were very good.
    You said it was 82 temperature there.
    Here in Nebraska were having an early heat wave, temperature around 100.
    Probably spend most of the week end trying to keep cool
    Bye for now.

  13. I just realized you were almost born on Sir Paul’s birthday. He’s 80 the day after you turned 28! Speaking of the hot weather, we’re in the middle of some in NW Illinois and much of this part of the country. It got to 97 degrees F one day last week. Next week forecasts two 96 degree days. Pleasant for a couple days in between, especially tomorrow at about 75. Great timing, as my family is taking a two-hour drive memorial trip to one of my Dad’s favorite places. He passed peacefully this past Wednesday night surrounded by family. He was 92 and had dementia but his mind was clear as he and we exchanged loving goodbyes. So don’t feel sorry for us. No regrets! Oh, and MLT music and videos were a HUGE source of joy for him in his last year or so!

    1. My condolences, Jeffery. My dad is 89 and suffering from major heart failure. He’ll be entering hospice care on Monday, so I can completely empathize with what you’re going through.

      1. Hope everything will be OK with your dad David. Will keep you and your dad in my thoughts. All the best.

      2. Thank you, David. We’re coping well. I’m praying for your Dad to be at peace and for comfort for you and your family.

    2. We’re terribly sorry to hear that but it’s beautiful that your Dad went peacefully and surrounded by family. That’s the best you can wish for. We’re thinking of you and your family and hope you’re spending a wonderful weekend together right now. ♥

      1. Thank you, Lisa! We feel truly blessed how things went at the end, and the memorial trip my family took couldn’t have been more special! We all felt his loving presence with us and know we’ll all be together again someday. A special thanks to you and all of team MLT for what you and your music meant to him!

      1. Thank you, Dana. We’re doing well. He’s at peace and was at ease with his going. That brings us a great deal of comfort. Best regards, Jeff

    3. So sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I am sure you have some nice MLT memories with him. Your memorial trip sounds like it was very cathartic for you.

      God bless,

      JP

      1. Thanks, JP. Yes, definitely, and yes, definitely! The eight of us felt and feel a more intimate bond with each other and Dad due to the trip. Just what we needed and no doubt a joy for Dad, too! Small but close family drawn even closer, if that’s possible!

  14. Belated Happy Birthday Mona & Lisa. Amazingly a day after mine on the 15th, You are both Gemini’s like me. Hope you both had a fab and groovy day x

  15. Thanks so much for taking a minute out of your special day to say “Hi”. Looks like you’re both having a wonderful birthday which fills my heart with joy. This Sunday is Father’s Day in the States so its backyard barbecue time. Yum! Thanks again for sharing part of your day. Hugs and more hugs!

  16. I hope you had a great birthday yesterday. You two deserve the best of things. I remember 28 barely. It was when I married Laura and we have been together now for 40 years come June 20. Also, we in the states have noticed that today is Sir Paul’s birthday…..so you three are close on birthdays. This weekend we only have a little planned. Tonight we go to an outside place for dinner and live music performed by people in the local area here in the mountains of NC. So, they will be playing country, bluegrass, and folk mostly. The dinner is not free but the music is except for the ‘tip jar’. One of these days we might play if we can ever get around to planning a few songs. Also, this weekend we will be still unpacking in our North Carolina mountain home. We also have a home in the mountains of West Virginia. Come August we get to unpack there, too. So times are busy, but retirement is working out pretty well.

    I hope you and your family have a great weekend and will chat soon.

    Mike

    1. That sounds like a very nice, busy weekend! We hope you had a good start to it already and that you enjoyed your musical dinner. We hope all the packing/unpacking will go smoothly 🙂

  17. wow 28!!! It seems like yesterday and both of you were 16 or 17. Hope yesterday was very happy for both and thank you for all of the great music and fun and adding niceness to an ever increasing not nice world.

  18. “Happy Birthday” girls! I know it’s slightly belated, but it’s so far to you from the United States, I believe the words got tired and rested a bit. But for sure, the sentiment was on time. Have a piece of cake for me!

  19. ????They say it’s your birthday????
    ????We’re gonna have a good time????
    Happy belated Birthday, Mona and Lisa! I’m very happy for you. May you have many more. Enjoy your weekend.❤️❤️❤️????❤️

  20. Happy birthday to both of you …keep on being happy and making fab music and videos …lots of love …all the best Mona and Lisa xxxxxxxx????????????????????????????????

  21. Happy Birthday Again!! Glad to see you enjoyed your special day.
    Tomorrow I will be surrounding myself with good friends at our annual Here’s to Good Friends Picnic (this is the 29th year).We’ll Bar-B-Que,play some Volleyball,and other assorted games,and just enjoy the company of friends old & new.

    As Always sending Love & Extra Birthday Hugs your way.????❤
    ????????????????????????

      1. We had a Blast as usual….and I turned a few more people on to your music.
        ???? ❤ ???? ???? ????

  22. I am happy you had a great birthday!
    Mine is in the winter so it is not really the same I wish I had a summer birthday. We are just going to hang out at the house this weekend, catch up on some reading. I like sitting out on my porch and getting into a good book. In the evenings we jump into the hot tub. We just got it in March and I would recommend one to anyone! I wish I had some of your birthday cake. What kind is it?

    1. Sounds like a perfect, relaxed weekend!
      We didn’t have a classic “birthday cake” in that sense but shared a huge Apfelstrudel (apple strudel), a typically Austrian dessert. It’s great with custard and we’ve still got some left in the fridge so I’m already looking forward to having the last piece tomorrow morning 🙂

  23. Hey happy birthday to both of you for bringing us joy n love through your music n just general awesomeness . Hope you enjoy your day n have a fun

  24. Greetings Lisa and Mona,

    Thanks for the today’s video. It’s always sweet to see & hear you up close & personal. Looks as if you were really enjoying your special day – that’s great.
    Sorry you couldn’t/didn’t open up your presents that your fans sent to you. But I understand why you chose to wait. What are we going to do with those folks who are tardy with their gifts? LOL Just kidding. I know stuff happens.
    Remember – “All You Need Is Love”.
    Have a safe and fun weekend. Take Care.

    Cheers,
    Bobby S.

    1. Thanks Bobby! Haha, we blame the postal service more than anything, some of these parcels have been travelling quite the distance. We think that their private jet getaway turned into a long hiking trip … but they’ll get here eventually 😉
      Enjoy the weekend!

  25. I’m glad you two had an enjoyable 28th birthday! I am hoping your music and MLT Club adventures will continue for many years to come.

    This Sunday will be my 68th birthday. That day is also Father’s Day (at least in the USA), so my children and grandchildren will be here with me making sure that I am adequately celebrated. I will still try to limit myself to one piece of cake!

  26. Hi Mona and Lisa. Just starting my day here and loved seeing your video Birthday Update. So glad to see you both enjoying your birthday. Thai food eh, that sounds great, one of my favourite cuisines, can’t get enough of the spicy Thai coconut soups. Really happy to see you pass the Club 27, and what an impressive year 27 you had, and again wishing you all the absolute best for your 28th year, may it be the best ever. I believe Sir Paul McCartney will be celebrating his birthday tomorrow on the 18th, and Brian Wilson on the 20th. Love how your birthdays are stacked right next to the other two music legends.

    I received a glimmer of hope for a new career opportunity to even greener pastures a couple of days ago, so really feeling good and crossing my fingers.

    Warmest wishes and hugs to you both from across the pond. ????????????????
    Jung

    1. Jung…hope that the career opportunity comes through. Will keep my fingers crossed as well. Good things happen to good people, and you are definitely “good people”!

      1. Hi Christopher, thank you so much for those kind words! Interestingly the person who reached out to me is a fellow high school class mate.

    2. We had coconut soup at the Thai place, it was great! Thanks for all the well wishes and kind messages ♥
      Good luck for that job opportunity, we’ll cross our fingers for you! ????

      1. Thanks so much Mona for the well wish for the new job opportunity ????, I have my fingers and toes crossed at this point! ???? That Thai food and image of coconut soup is making my mouth water. I hear a heat wave is happening your way, enjoy and stay cool. In contrast to last years historic record breaking heat wave we had in western Canada, it’s the coolest and wettest May/June on record. Go figure, climate is going bananas.

  27. It sounds like the two of you had a fantastic birthday, especially your dinner! It is nice that you are waiting to open your cards and gifts. It helps turn your birthday into a birthday month or, at least, a birthday week!

    We would have been pleased with an 82 degree (F) day yesterday. It was 90 in Western New York State and my Air Conditioning system broke down. Oh well, get to take today off while it is being replaced. My 14 1/2 year old beagle is not enjoying the heat, so replacement of the A/C unit is vital for my lil’ baby dog!

    Mona and Lisa, you are most deserving of the many well-wishes, cards, gifts, and donations. Thank you for everything that you do for us, especially your MLT Club members. Wishing you a wonderful 28th year in all aspects of your lives!

    1. Aw, thank you for that kind comment. I hope your dog (and you!) have the A/C back by now. Our parents owned a Beagle when we were just babies. We don’t remember him first hand unfortunately, but there are a few photos 🙂
      Have a great weekend!

      1. Thank you. And yes, the new A/C unit is in. My wife Deborah, Lady Jane Beagle, and I are enjoying the coolness. It is easy to say that lil’ baby dog would find the Cavern Club to be too hot for her liking!

        Hope that all of you had a great weekend as well!

  28. Heat wave in England. Of course this means rain all morning here in Scotland – the sun is just sneaking out now! (max of 19 degrees this week as well). I always knew you would escape the 27 curse – never in doubt. Must be hard to refrain from opening your gifts though but if it’s anything like Christmas you will get some lovely presents and cards – and never any duplicates (which amazes me!). Lots of love on your birthday, keep grooving,  Allan!

  29. Wishing you best wishes on your birthday. Hope your 28th year bring you much happiness, peace, joy, and success. And thanks for sharing some of it with us. Ya’ll don’t look a day over 27. BTW, here in Oklahoma America it’s been high 90 Fs for two weeks. Hot and humid. LuvYa Dubya (translates “love ya two times) on your birthday. Stay groovy and Peace be.

  30. That was cool… I’m glad you had a nice birthday, whatever /however you enjoyed doing on you day, and believe you me, it was frikkin humid hot yesterday , nearing +40 with humidity and a wicked Thunderstorm had rolled through my area ( Thankfully not turned into a Tornado like a few wks back – some local folks still cleaning up their yards , and all power restored over the last week or two, I was lucky, I had power, was not affected but felt badly for those that were )
    Am looking forward to next week’s Bday Gifts/Cards Revealing for you both, Glad you survived into the 28th Club … Take Care ????????

  31. Hi Ladies!
    Always enjoy these candid moments.
    Makes the moments even more enjoyable.
    It was. 40° c Here yesterday. With 95% humidity and no air circulating. I work outside as you know. I try to stay hydrated, but the heat kills that.
    I am so glad you had a wonderful Birthday, and were able to celebrate with your friends and family.
    Look forward to next week’s video.
    Best to all of you, and again Happy 28th Birthday Mona and Lisa.
    Rick Ross

    1. Thank you, Rick! Working outside at 40°C is no joke, we hope it will cool down in the coming days. It has cooled down significantly here to 14°C (57°F) now!

      1. It has cooled down for 2 days to 32°c bit next week promises to be 40-44°c pant,pant! Please send some of that 14°c to ME! I promise to walk around in shorts ????????????????

  32. Hey! Happy (belated) Birthday, Ladies! Delighted you are not in the 27 Club. Hope your day continued happy. Many blessings for your birthyear!

  33. So nice of you to take the time to say hello on your birthday! How could you possibly get so beautiful and sweet and talented in only 28 years?

  34. Glad to see you are taking some time for yourselves. You both look and sound great, not a day over twenty-eight. Tomorrow is Marlo’s birthday. Our oldest son is taking a train here and we are going to see a performance of “To Kill A Mockingbird” at a very nice theater near the train station. It’s getting a lot of great reviews, so we are looking forward to seeing it.

    Enjoy the warm weather and enjoy the weekend,

    Marlo & JP

  35. Sending you my personal wishes for a wonderful birthday. Every day is a little better because the two of you are in the World and you brighten it with your personalities, music, and your genuine loving spirit. Much love to both of you….

      1. I am definitely enjoying my weekend. It’s Father’s Day today in the US, and I got to connect with both of my kids. But, Lisa, your note was so very special and I am very touched. Truly, I wonder if you know how much Light you bring to so many of us… that is a true gift, my friend. 🙂

  36. I hope you two had the best birthday!!! It has been hot here also. 98 on Wednesday 36.666666666 for you celsius folks. Looking forward to next weeks video.

      1. I am so glad you had a good day! Staying cool & groovy here, only supposed to be 94 tomorrow! Thank you for the reply!

  37. So glad the weather was nice for your birthday Mona and Lisa! In Pittsburgh the last couple day it was hot 90 plus degrees but today it will drop a bit to the lower 80’s. So glad 27 is behind you now and moving on. Can’t wait to see the video next week, always look forward to that. Maddie is playing her last regular season softball game tonight and next week we go into playoffs. Wish her luck! So hope you enjoyed your birthday and keep it going all weekend!! Have a piece of cake for me and Maddie!!
    Love you both and hugs from us in Pittsburgh
    Bill and Maddie Isenberg

      1. Hi Lisa! It worked!! We won!! So now we go into playoffs to see if we win 1st or 2nd or 3rd place. This year is a lot of fun, Maddie and her team are playing well. So thank you for the crossed fingers and keep it coming our first playoff game is tomorrow !!

  38. I knew the 27 club had no chance at you two! I doubt the universe could survive without the infusion of joy you so often provide! Love, Peace, HUGS and blessings to the Wagners!
