January Baby

January 9th, 2013

I am a January Baby and yesterday was my birthday.
I am happy to have a birthday (Elvis and I were born on the same day!) but I wish I had been born at a different time of the year.
By the time my birthday arrives, people are usually burnt out from the holidays.  Throughout the years, I have found that friends and family are either on a diet in January or they had spent too much money on Christmas so they are back on a budget in January.  Sometimes I have received gifts in Christmas wrapping paper and sometimes … Read More

Happy Birthday to My Irish Twin

Happy Birthday Sheila! Today is my sister Sheila’s birthday so for the next month we will be the same age. How can we be the same age for a month? We are Irish twins. I was born in January and she was born in December of the same year.  Busy parents, yes?  Irish twins are defined as a pair of siblings born within 12 to 16 months of each other. When we were young children, our mother would dress us alike as though we were twins and we have lots of pictures from holidays in the same dresses and coats. … Read More

Playing With The Moon By Amir Jutt You invited us into the world of science and made us love it as you did.  You taught us that writing simply and elegantly is not as easy as you made it look.  You passed on more to us than you will ever know. For all of the stories you told before anyone else knew them, for all of the stories you wrestled out of other people’s brains and for all of the stories that flowed from your ever constant fingers on the keyboard, this picture is for you on your special day.… Read More

Mother and Child By Pablo Picasso Today is my Mom’s 81st birthday and I truly hope she has a relaxing day. My Mom did an incredible job of raising six children who were born very close in age.  There is only seven years between me (the oldest) and the youngest child.  There is a set of twins in our family and one of my sisters and I were born in the same year so we are the same age for a month.  Think about taking care of six children all by yourself: the logistics, the time, the energy, the patience… Read More

Today is my Dad’s 85th birthday and I wish him the happiest of birthdays!!  He is the best Dad in the whole world!! I love him very much and respect what he has done in his life.  He adores the beach and fishing and hanging out near the water.  Today he is spending the day down on Chesapeake Bay with my brothers and I know they will have a blast because they’ll eat and do everything guys like to do. He is quite a wonderful character (you never know what the mail will bring) and a great Dad who once… Read More

Thoughts of Two Special People

April 11th, 2011
Posted By:

My thoughts today are filled with two special people whom I love very much. One of them is in the hospital and is scheduled to have a surgical procedure today.  I wish I could be with her to hold her hand, tell her how special she is and how much she means to me and so many other people.  My prayers are with her as the doctors do their work to make her healthy again. The other person, my husband, would have turned 80 years old today.  Happy Birthday O!  I know you are  in heaven  and I hope you’re… Read More
