One of the boxes of LEGOs Charlie received for his 11th birthday on Thursday was this project-Mona Lisa. The appropriate age printed on the box of the 1,503 pieces was age 18+!
His dad is going to get a wall anchor and hang it up tomorrow.
Happy Birthday Charlie. I’m looking forward to being with you on your special day! June 25th Love FF
Wishing you a happy birthday, David .
Love, Ruthie
Playing a song for you today
May your birthday be the start of a happy new year, Jack. ❤️ Love, Froo
114 years ago today, my dad was born
But especially for my son-in-law James who is celebrating a birthday today.
He is the one who gave me this wonderful ink print years ago.
Framed! I keep it in the dining room on the mantel to remind myself to do just that.
So I’m posting it for him today as I wish him a great day. And a great new year! ❤️
My friend V told me clocks and watches are frequently set at 10:10. I looked it up and she’s right. Aesthetically pleasing to the eye, not blocking logo on clock face, looks like the clock is smiling- yes there’s a lot out there about the 10:10 setting. Article from Mental Floss here.
November 20, 1980 was a snowy morning. We left home a little after 8 AM. The hospital in Clarion Pennsylvania was barely a block away from our house. It was beginning to snow.
I was told, “oooops baby isn’t in a good position so you could be here all day.”
Guess you heard that declaration, got into a good position, then everything happened fast? You decided you’d surprise us and not wait around for hours.
You were born at 10:10 AM.
My mom came out from Philadelphia to help. And the next day my dad showed up at the front door unexpectedly. He couldn’t stay home and not drive out the six hours to see you.
Looking at this photo of my mom holding you, I realize my mother (68) is just 5 years younger than I am now.
When we got home from the hospital there was a handmade wooden cradle in front of the fireplace, made with hand tools by our good friend Shuey. you could turn it over and it was a bench to sit on. Your big brother Mark was so excited to meet you.
Love to you on your birthday, Matthew.
Love, Ma
