| GSL opened for business 52 years ago today. I only vaguely recall this shoot but can assure you that no hair product was involved. Yes, I know; that suit looks like I slept in it. |
Picking up Mum at Midway in a couple hours. Tonight over cake and ice cream, we'll celebrate her life's work.
If October is not the very best month of the year, I don't know what is. Only May could even make an argument. From now til Christmas Eve is my fave time of year.
Hoping your Oktoberfest is off to a good start.
You have a certain mischievous look about you that appears as though you are plotting and planning your next sly move.
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns to you on your special day and so pleased you'll be able to spend time with your mother.
Thank you CD and looking forward to fattening up on Giants pitching Friday night.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Sweetpea!! Those little HANDS!! Something about a baby's little folded hands (from a friend's toddler when he saw my own #2 Son for the first time "Look at his cute little paws!") that takes a Mama's heart. He's exactly seven months older than you, My Dear Sir.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet face, with those wise eyes, and what I KNOW must be a perpetual twinkle, as those plots and plans and memories swirl around your smarty-brain.
My favorite season, as well, and such a wonderful spate of weather, despite a few clouds of late. Sunny for the next few days, though we have seen only a peep of colour in the tippy-tops of trees. Our streets are lined with green, and plans for Halloween are already afoot.
And a purentee fabulous October to you and your Dear Mama. You tell her rachel says She Done GOOD.

Ha! It occurred to me later what you did, there. Perhaps I missed it because of several factors: I have no talent for any card game in history, though I've put in my time with many a rousing game of Go Fish in the past decade or so, and to tell you the truth, I'm often of the opinion that I'm not playing with a full one on occasion.
DeleteJust the hand I was dealt, and it gets sparser with age.
Thank you Rachel and I'll bet you did good with yours too.
DeleteHappy Birthday GSL! I hope you have a wonderful day as well as a fantastic fall season! I'm glad we have both made in to a full deck together. I will be thinking about you and your lovely mother Ellen all day. Talk soon to catch up.
ReplyDeleteYour ear was burning at lunch I'm sure and intros later tonight.
DeleteMum got a little jumpy with my Hammer Lane Power Sweep return from Midway.
Would never have guessed you are a libra! Happy birthday
ReplyDeleteThank you Naomi!
DeleteHappy (Belated) Birthday GSL! You look like you are already plotting World Domination in that extremely adorable photo. You also look like you are related to Winston Churchill (and I mean that as a compliment so don't get mad). My father and son have October birthdays so I agree with you, it is a wonderful month. I also agree that it is the best time of the year--October until December 31! Hope you had a nice birthday. x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the belated but appreciated well wishes. Churchill was great man so I'll take that any day. Hope your father and son also enjoyed their bdays.
