!101!

Today my grandfather turned 101! Happy Birthday Grandpa!
I hope to be as sharp as he is when I am half his age. This is a picture of Grandpa looking quite dapper. It was taken a few years ago (in 2005 outside of the Logan Temple) in Logan Utah where he still resides.


**And now a couple of really nice palindromes to finish off this post to celebrate my Grandpa's 101st birthday:
Was it a cat I saw?
A man a plan a canal panama.
Wow!

They call me "Ms. Eloquent"

A year ago I mailed off a "Congrats on the Wedding" card to a friend of mine. It was returned shortly thereafter due to an incorrect address. I got busy. It has been a year. I finally contacted my friend for her current address. I decided she deserved a fresh card, so I wrote out a nice little message, part of which reads: "...Congratulations on the wedding and anniversary. May you have many more happy ones." Uh. Then I shoved a nice "(anniversaries)" after it to clarify that I do hope their actual wedding holds up and that the "many more happy ones" refers to the anniversaries. Geez. I should really write a rough draft first.

Beard Season

"Git yer boots an' hunt'n cap on! It's beard season!"

I think beard season came early this year. All of a sudden there is facial hair everywhere I look. It is sweeping the nation. Friends, co-workers, grocery store clerks, terrorists.

Today I opened the newspaper and saw this:

Think about it.

(And no, reading the comics isn't the only reason I open up the newpaper. Sometimes I am checking on the weather.)
