Birthday day!

Hi Evfurry buddy!

You know, I have had a lot of birthdays (today is my 75th) but I can no longer have the one thing I loved the best about them.

It is where your Mom, one of your Aunties or your Uncle, starts telling the story about the day you were born.  All of those people are gone for me, and I miss them everyone.  My adoptive Mom (who was a sister to my birth Mom) really told the best one, the temperature was way below zero (Mid November, not really likely) and the snow was very deep.  They had to get my Mom to the hospital to have me, but the old car got stuck on the railroad tracks, and three people in the car had to push it off and onto the road.  They made it in time, but it was touch and go all the way.  I was born, my mother was fine, but the Aunties who came along and had to push the car off the tracks were the ones who had the hard time.  I got the giggles everytime I heard the tale and I am quite sure it was a TALE.  It did get colder every year and the snow got deeper, thats for certain.

On another story, my Doc wrote me that the biopsies taken are all just fine with no cancer or unusual cells.  I may be good for another year!

Love and hugs,

Jo

  12. Super news from the doctor. Better even than the cake! And what a dramatic entrance you had into the world Jo!
    We have just returned from taking my Dad out for his birthday lunch at a local favourite pub. The landlord told us it was his 67th birthday. So I told him Dad beat him by quarter of a century, minus a day!
    Cheers,
    Gail.

  16. Happy Birthday, Jo!!!!!! I love that story of your birth! I lost that too, when my mom died, because my dad isn't the sort to remember details or tell a story like that one.

    I'm so happy about your medical news, and I hope that you have a fabulous year ahead of you.

  20. Just because we are late does not mean our wishes are any less heartfelt or ardent. May your new year be filled with health, bounty, blessings, beauty, activities you love, memories you cherish, and friends that celebrate what a wonderful person you are. Happiest of Birthdays.
