Step right up folks and wish me a "Happy Birthday!". I know you will anyway, so I'll give you a place to send your good wishes. Can you imagine! I've been on God's not-so-green-anymore earth for one year short of three quarters of a century. That's a loooong time.
I've had my ups, and I've had my downs. I've taken the high road, and I've taken the low road, but, all together, it's been a good run.
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you....
Thanks be to God!
And it's Ruth's birthday, too!
I already said this on yesterday's post, but happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Not having known when you were younger I shall refrain from using the "fine wine" metaphor (you may have ALWAYS been this fine!). Let me merely say that you are certainly a magnificent vintage!
ReplyDeletePeace

Already done this once at MP's, as you know, but since you insist, "Happy Birthday".

ReplyDeleteOh my- I put up a post in your honor at my place, complete with a French speaking Lolz-cat!!
ReplyDeleteHowever I was slow to get to your blog today... I am in a coffee shop doing my homework for class and read this paragraph from Sacraments of Life, The Life of the Sacraments by Leonardo Boff.
"Every day is the same as the next; it has 24 hours. But one's birthday is different. It is sacramental because it celebrates the greatest miracle of all. On that day you began to live and you are alvie now! One's birthday then is filled with symbols and rites that it different from every other day."
Sacramental Good Wishes and Much Love!!
Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteI spent most of yesterday disconnected, so missed this joyous occasion. Sorry! Happy birthday, Grandmére Mimi!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday dearest Mimi!!! All of us under the bridge salute you!
ReplyDelete¡Feliz cumpiaños a todos! (Abuelita y Ruth).
ReplyDeleteMay you all have many more and may they all be joyous.
I will wish you a happy birthday again. I sent wishes to your previous post as I went to bed at the end of the 18th, now I wake up on the 19th to see there are 42 ahead of me. Can I help it if you people are so far behind me?
ReplyDelete"Penblwydd Hapus, Mam-Gu!" From a rector of Welsh birth in New York state.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that we get to share in this joyous occasion. I rejoice that God placed you on the earth and under the stars and rejoice even more that I have been privileged to meet you. Your blog-companionship comforts, inspires, amuses, and agitates us all. Hooray for Mimi!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLotsa love!
Oh, good, we have a year to help plan a huge party for your big 2/4 century next year! Meanwhile, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND BIG HUGS from me and Maya Pavlova. Sent you a Rubber Chicken card, so don't delete even if it looks like spam. (If you did I can re-send.)
