We had a quiet evening at home, anticipating a snowstorm that never arrived!
See? I told you that getting a snowblower would guarantee no snow for Northern New Jersey in perpetuity.
Today, February 6th, is my daughter Alida's birthday. She is 24, or 168 in dog years.
In this picture she is only a few weeks old:
Dig the funky hair.In this one, she is 23, and all washed up:
Well, you know I don't mean that. But she's 'way out in California, so I can say whatever I want; I'm too far away to hear her say, "MA!" You know how kids can turn that into a two syllable word? The really talented ones can get it to stretch to three syllables.
So, Happy Birthday to my two dear February babies!
24 years ago we did have a big snowstorm, and Mercy hospital on
Long Island was jammed with mothers suddenly popping out babies.
You know why? Howard didn't have a snowblower then.

Whatever your weather today, enjoy the fact that you have it! -- Cass (who has no snow!)
Mercy Hospital??!! My last 3 were born at Winthrop in Mineola. LOL Your February baby turned into a beautiful young lady. My daughter was born February 15th 1994-the year of 24 snowstorms!!!

If buying a snowblower guarantees no snow...then I'm putting my order in...this TN chick doesn't like snow...unless it melts in a couple of hours. Happy Birthday to your husband and beautiful daughter!!!
ReplyDeleteYou daughter looks like such a sweet young lady. Happy Birthday to her and your husband. Thank God we don't ever get snow here in Central Texas. I had a lifetime of it up North, and I'm glad to be done with that.

Happy Birthday to Alida, and Howard. One of my Daughter's birthday is today also! My other Daughter's birthday is later this month. I need to start pricing snow blowers - I don't want anymore of that frozen stuff.
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your weekend.
she is a cutie pie, tell her I said that and she may forgive the comment you made.... we had a little mulch but nothing to even be concerned about and I will be damned if I am buying a snow blower, (only because I have a neighbor that thinks I am 123 years old) tee hee, knew getting older must have some benefits.
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful! I know you must be proud! Don't you love winter storms? We are getting another snow storm on Monday...I am longing for Spring!

ReplyDeleteThought this post was quite funny : D I especially enjoyed the two-syllable "Ma". Thanks for making me laugh.
Have a great weekend with no snow!
Happy birthday to the birthday crew!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry you don't have snow!!!!

Can you say SNOW DAY? Hopefully.

Happy Birthday Howard and Alida!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Howard and Alida! We had plenty of snow last year in Minot, ND, but alas no snow this year in Tampa, FL. However, we will be leaving in about 2 weeks for Fairbanks, AK and are pretty sure we'll see a bit up there!

Happy Birthday to those you love this month. It's my birthday today and I'm all washed up too! *giggles*
