I am "made" as a blogger. Miss Egyptian Hippo of Love reads my blog. Yay!
You may ask, "Who is Miss Egyptian Hippo of Love?" Miss Hippo is one of the stars of Padre Mickey's regular Friday (sometimes Saturday, when El Padre is lazy on Friday) entertainments.
If you are not a regular at Padre Mickey's Friday entertainments, then you should be. The proof that Miss Hippo reads Wounded Bird is here. Miss Hippo is smiling, because she liked what she read at my blog. Scroll down past the wine bottles, and you will find the picture at the head of this post. El Padre blogs at Padre Mickey's Dance Party.
Idea stolen from Caminante.
Congratulations! You're in the big leagues now.
ReplyDeleteMiss Hippo is darling and just right in reading your blog!
ReplyDeleteI always knew Miss Egyptian Hippo of Love had good taste.
ReplyDeleteHey, isn't today your BIRTHDAY?! (Another blog told me.)
CORRECTION:
ReplyDeleteMiss Hippo appears to have her back turned to your blog. As she is a goddess of love this is hardly surprising you nasty bit of stuff.
Hey, Mimi: Thanks for leaving me a prayer.
ReplyDeletePax Christ
D.P. (4.42pm GMT)
I believe Gran'mere that it is your natal day.
ReplyDeletein honor of this, and of your post:
Hippo birdy two ewe

Hippo birdy, deer ewe

Hugs from IT
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Mwaaaaah!
ReplyDeleteDoing the wiggle dance for you, and singing a little birthday song!
Yes, it is my birthday. I am not ashamed to say my age - 73. That's a lotta years of living with a lotta mistakes and - I hope - a little wisdom gained.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good wishes. Leave it to MadPriest to try to spoil my day, but I will not permit him to do that.
On Friday, we will celebrate three birthdays - mine, my son's and my grandson's - with a dinner out. September is a busy month.
Happy Birthday dear lady!
ReplyDelete{{{Grandmère Mimi}}}
Lots of hugs, Mimi.
ReplyDeleteFor the last few years, on my own birthday, I've been in the habit of looking up the psalm that corresponds to my age, to see if it has some nuggets for me to take into the next year. Psalm 73 has some good ones:
'Nevertheless I am continually with you:
you hold my right hand.
You guide me with your counsel,
and afterwards you will receive me with honour.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire other than you.
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever' (verses 23-26).
Praying that one for you today, my friend.
You know I saw that the other day and thought to myself that Miss Hippo was much more discriminating than I had realized!!
ReplyDeleteWHOA- stop the presses!
ReplyDeleteIt is your birthday! Now that is great, what a better place the world is, blogworld in particular, for your fine presence.
Blessings peace and happiness to you dear Grandmere!
Happy Birthday, Mimi! Cannot wait to meet you next month.
ReplyDeleteDear Grandmère Mimi, May it be the happiest one yet and may you have many, many more. You are truly an inspiration.
ReplyDelete*sings happy birthday terribly off key*
ReplyDelete*disappears offstage, pursued by those with perfect pitch*
*zooms back across, giggling and cheering*
Happy birthday!
I couldn't let the day go by without wishing you a wonderful year, Mimi! May you get back all the love, wisdom, and kindness you show the world.
ReplyDelete(And I hope you don't mind that I always call you "Mimi" instead of "Grandmere"...in my neck of the woods, "Mimi" *means* "grandmother"!)
Love,
Doxy
P.S. Tomorrow is my own grandmother's birthday---she'll be 82.
¡Feliz Cumpliaños, Abuelita!
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns of the day, as they say here.
That priest is just mad because his blog is read by Shrieky the Bird.
Tim, what a lovely idea! I love the Psalms and read them regularly, but had not thought of reading my "birthday Psalm." Hey, we can keep going till 150, and that is a Psalm of rejoicing.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the birthday wishes. I have been able to get online only sporadically all afternoon. Don't know what the problem is, but it's not a nice birthday present. Grrr.
ReplyDeleteTim, that is a lovely idea about the psalm, and it's a perfect word for the day when the computer acts up. My flesh and my heart failed, indeed.
Jane, I was thinking the same thing. You never run out of psalms.
Doxy, wish your grandmother a Happy Birthday from your virtual friend.
congratulations on your accomplishment and happy birthday! I want to be like you when I grow up!
ReplyDeleteHappy B'day, Mimi!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're coming to New York, despite the unfortunate name for that event.
Pitui! Here's one of my most prized dog biscuits. Sorry about the slobber.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday... what is it in dog years?
woof!
Ah, grandmère, je vous félicite. Que la sagesse (et la prudence) de ce tas d'années vous sauvent de folie en ce jour de fête.
ReplyDeleteParty down and let the good times roll. Ignore nasty priests who might be jealous. We clergy types act like we know everything when we really know very little.
Bon anniversaire, Grandmere Mimi!
ReplyDeleteDear Mimi, I am just barely going to get this birthday wish in it before midnight EDT! Yes, Miss Egyptian Hippo of Love knows just where to go in Blogland for the most refined and relevant posts. Thanks for all you do to enrich our world.
ReplyDelete(((Mimi)))
Phooey. I missed your birthday. Hope it was happy despite the internet connection problems. May many more birthdays come your way each better than the previous.
ReplyDeleteSee you in October.

ReplyDeleteArghhhhh...
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say happy birthday before it was the next day. too late.
Well it is still your birthday here on the west coast. So I'm not really too late.
Best wishes for a happy birthday.
Hope that you had a great one.
and I'm very excited about finally meeting you in NYC.
I like Shrieky the Bird. Shrieky is my favourite. We understand each other.
ReplyDeleteIs that our Tawaret?!
ReplyDeleteShe's lovely in blue! I, naturally, prefer Anubis and Set (who tried to win a wrestling match with Horus by the unique strategy of telling Horus what a lovely bottom he had).
And, Happy Birthday, belated as it may be!
Grandmere! I couldn't get online all day yesterday (too busy)--is it okay if I sing to you now?
ReplyDeleteIt's your birthday, we wish you many more
Health and wealth and friends by the score--
Cut the cake and let's eat some more!
Happy Birthday to you.
Love,
another Virgo, also sent here by Eileen
Ma cher Grandmere,
ReplyDeleteA birthday present for you. My bishop will be preaching at St George's in NO. Can you be there? Is it anywhere near you?
We had our diocesan meeting last night and he said that the Bishops would have one day to help on cleanup projects and were asked to scatter around on Sunday morning to different churches.
If you have never heard Bishop Michael Curry please make haste to hear his preaching. I am proud to call him my Bishop.
Love,
amyj
Happy Birthday, friend! Jane R sent me over, reliable woman that she is!
ReplyDeleteSalut et bon anniversaire, bien que tardif (de ma part).
ReplyDeleteamyj, you and I are from the same diocese and yes, our bishop is one helluva preacher!
ReplyDeleteI like to answer my comments, but with my internet access down, they got away from me, but thank you all.
ReplyDeleteAmyj, welcome. I will be going to the service at the cathedral where Bishop Katharine will be preaching, otherwise I'd love to hear your bishop. We will have a bishop in our parish, too, but I won't be there.
At first I was marveled to see such a blog.Your blog is sparkling. It has a great appeal. How are U able to cope such a lot.
