My own life and my opinions are shared at When I was 69.

Ah August Birthdays!

This has been a week of birthdays. Today is my son Russell H's birthday (I won't give you the number!)


Last Mon. the 12th was my daughter-out-of-law, Kendra B's birthday. She and my son, Tai R.,  have a committed relationship which doesn't include legal things, like being an 'in-law.' But she's like another great daughter that I'm so proud to have.


I wish they didn't all live so far from me!

This year I've decided to write (while I still can) a poem or quotation into blank cards for birthdays.  The cards were a gift to me, and I really don't know what to do with them. They are very nice art, but I don't write letters/notes to anyone anymore.  Stationary has gone the way of telegrams.

But as anyone who reads my blogs might know, I like to save quotes and pass them along.
So that's how the birthday cards are happening - for now.

Next week is my 77th. And just the day before is my newest daughter-in-law, Barbara B's birthday.  She's great and legal too! My son Marty H. and his new wife, Barbara B.

And then the next week is my daughter-in-law-mother Joanne N.'s birthday...you know, the mother of my other daughter-in-law! (That's Joanne's wedding and her daughter (Russ' wife) Michelle.


Is that everyone?

Nope, that doesn't count the ancestors, so I've been preparing to celebrate them as well.  Without them, where would I be?
