love 10/27
It’s no secret, I love my birthday. Do you know that person who complains that they are another year older? Yeah, I am the complete opposite of that person. Birthdays are a gift unto themselves.
I love October. I love the 27th. I love that I was born in a year ending with zero. What can I say? I just love my birthday. In fact, when I schedule posts in advance on this very blog, I set them up to post at 10:27 AM. So there you go, now you know.
I was going through old photos of my childhood birthdays and came across these pictures. Isn’t it funny how my dresses are both black and white patterned? Actually, my mom never liked black on little girls, so they’re probably navy and white. The first photo is of my 4th birthday with me proudly standing beside a stack of gifts. Score!. That is my 12-year-old Aunt Patty beside me. My mom is the oldest of 8 and Patty is the youngest, so Patty and I are only eight years apart.
I think I was turning 11 or 12 in this second photo. It’s hard to be sure, but that’s what I’m guessing, by looking at my siblings and trying to figure out their ages. That is Sloane, standing on the far left, and Andy is sitting to the right, between the two girls.
The funny thing I distinctly remember about this particular birthday party is that my friend, Jayne, was not in that group photo. Once my mom realized it, she was sure to take a picture of the two of us after everyone else had gone home. I guess I remember because back then, it was a big deal to take photos, you didn’t want to waste (and have to pay for) the film and developing of bad pictures. So strange to think that now we are digital and can take as many photos as we wish without worrying about waste or cost.
Anyhow… I’m off to read my birthday horoscope, it’s sure to be a good day! 🙂

I KNEW there had to be another reason I love you besides your bubbly personality; your birthday is one day after my dear Mama’s. The 26th was Happy Colleen day. I love my birthday too especially the gifts I give myself with the exception of the year my husband was soooo smart and had you teach/cook my 40th bday celebration. Looong time since then. 🙂 Happy Belated Birthday!!!
