What happened the day you were born?

Sinister Plot. To find out how old I am. I almost fell for it.

Jill over at Lil Mouse is the Fun Monday host this week.

She wants to know what happened on the day you were born.

Nothing.

Well... my Internet search for information wasn't a complete failure. There just wasn't anything more interesting than the fact that I was born that day.

What day, you ask? Aha!

Thursday.

I am a Thursday baby, also! I just can never remember the poem that tells me if it's good or bad. You know, Monday's child is......

Here, I'll go first. On the day I was born, American forces began Operation Cedar Falls and Elvis had a birthday. I'd bet you can get the complete date with those. I was a Sunday baby.

Come on, aren't you gonna share?

Monday's child is full of grace,
Tuesday's child is fair of face,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child who is born on the Sabbath Day is bonny and blithe and good and gay.

I was born on a Sunday, so bonny and blithe and good and gay is me! Except probably not that gay except in the context of happy! :D

For me this theme was even worse, I was born in the middle of WW II and besides bombs on Frankfurt where I was born, nothing happened. Not a very funny monday theme. I show the big movie studio in the south of Morocco instead.
If you want to see some more pictures of the beautiful Sahara desert I took pictures during our excursion with jeep and camel to watch a sunset. It's here http://gattinatravels.blogspot.com/

This week theme was a bit challenging for me...and well you did find out it was a Thursday!

And they have to add your birthday in the list of events for that day... ;)

I never really thought about it revealing age, I guess everyone reads something differently, now don't they.. hm...I hope it was fun anyway, my husband wanted me to do one on vacations, but we'd just done something similar, so I figured people would be huffy if I did.. this is certainly a little more out there than most times we do it. I still think the dream one was more fun!

The only interesting thing I could find was..Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangeled Banner our national anthem on Sept 14 in the 1800's, sometimes I feel like i was born in that year! LOL. I think I was born on a tuesday!

There was nothing interesting on my actual birthday but I found a few historical things for the month and day.

I am starting to wonder... how come nothing interesting is happening on anyone's birthday? History happens every day, so SOMETHING must have happened, right?

My mom has my baby book and it sounds like a great one. She put pictures of fashions and the front page of the newspaper in it. But we don't know where it is at the moment.

And since I couldn't come up with anything on my specific day - I made a day up for my parents!

First, I love your new mug shot, Pamela. How cute you are with that big sparkley smile. Although, I always thought the other one of you snuggling a grandbaby was really sweet. And, try as she might, LilMouse couldn't trick you into revealing anything about age, could she? We get older and smarter.

I need to get back in the Fun Monday groove, but I do have something posted that you might find mindly interesting as a reading buff. Stop by if you have a minute.

Your admonition that a woman who'll reveal her age or weight will reveal anything is a huge part of the reason I don't reveal my age: it would suck to not be trusted! And I'm a nurse! And an old new mommy!

Love the poem Anonymous posted.

I am Friday's child.

It obviously wasn't the same day that I was born or we would have had to argue over the most interesting event.

All I know is that I was born on a Sunday evening. My sisters were watching The Wonderful World of Disney. How prophetic - my life has been somewhat comedic.

Dear pamela. Well, it's wonderful that the most interesting thing that happened on the day you were born, was that you were born! There's nothing quite as special as a new human life.

I was stunned to find out - when I looked it up - that over half of the US population was under 25 years old when I was born!

I believe I was born on a Sunday.

My Mom says I was born shortly after JFK was assassinated.

August.

And now you know how old I am. :)

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of the make and model that

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio

Bird Voyeur

Image
The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben
