Happy Birthday To . . . Me!

Okie on the LamFifty eight years ago today a proud and grateful Tulsa couple accepted into their hearts and home a 5-pound baby boy, a castaway only an hour or so old, who in today’s climate of ‘planned parenthood’ thinking wouldn’t have been born at all. For some reason, God hadn’t allowed them to have their own flesh-&-blood progeny, so they got stuck with me, and later on, my sis. We got the best end of the deal, as I can’t imagine a better pair of human beings to have been raised by.

So, it’s clear and chilly out here in the People’s Republic of Santa Monica, Iran’s rulers are rattling their Feb. 11th sabers, the east coast is buried in snow, it’s snowing in Dallas, and the NYT is claiming that all this cold weather and snow is because of Global Warming. Yakoff Smirnoff is right, it is a great country!

So, happy birthday to one aging Aquarium Water Dragon . . . uh, that’d be me! ;-)

    As both an adoptive mom as well as a biological one, I’m sure your parents were thrilled to have you come into their lives! Happy Birthday from shivering cold, buried under 5 ft of snow Silver Spring MD!

    Thanks Piano Girl!

    It was so chilly here this AM that I could actually see my breath on the dog walk. ;-)

    5 feet of snow? I’m feelin’ for ya! Stay warm out there . . .

    And you share a birthday with Sarah Palin ~ that’s good luck right there! This area broke records that went back to 1898. Baltimore (BWI Airport) has had 77.3″ of snow this season. Staying warm…still have power ~ hoping the system that is coming in on M misses us. Just don’t need another global warming event on top of the other 4 that have hit here in the past 2 weeks.

    Yeah, I was stoked last year when I saw that I shared a B-day with the great Sarah Palin. BTW — she shares mine, as I’m a good bit older. ;-)

    Gotta LUV all that global warming. Snow in 49 of the 50 states today. Al could go tobogganing in Tenn!

    My daughter has never quite forgiven me for having her on Jane Fonda’s birthday! My grandmother never forgave me for giving birth to a Yankee great-grandchild. Are you on FB? I’m listed as Beverly Babcock (picture is of me at the piano ~ a photo taken in Italy)
