My Birthday


Today is my birthday! I was born on Father's Day, but this is not the year that the two days are celebrated at once. My dad reminded me each and every year that I was the best gift he ever got. He would sit me on his lap and tell me the story about how I was born on Father's Day. It was always so special to me when he did that. I wish that he was here so I could hear the story from him again, but I will always remember it in my heart.

Joe and I are planning a great day! We are starting off with a wonderful Irish breakfast at one of the coffee shops on our main street. Then lots of fun planned afterwards. He bought me a Nintendo 3DS and two games for my birthday. I know...I am a kid at heart,and today I get to see what all the 3D hype is about. Also, Dougal is part of my gift, even though he is not here yet , and he is definitely the best gift ever!

I will tell you that I am 61 today. Age is relative anyways, and I have always been such a kid. Joe always tells me that is one of the reasons he loves me.
I love birthdays, so I am looking forward to today! Thanks for the well wishes that I received this morning when I woke up on Facebook! I do appreciate all the Happy Birthday wishes from good friends!

Happy Birthday, Micki! and many more!!
Well An Irish "brekky" would have to be a fry up, wouldn't it?
I would go for the bacon, eggs, tomato, black pudding,toast etc.:)
Yes your little Dougal would have to be the best present!! just as my little Ralphy was, for my birthday in "96- I will never forget him, or how happy I was that day. Your day won't be complete without some chocolate, I guess, or are you both out for a bit of craic- sorry if I spelled it wrong! Anyway I hope this is your very best birthday! Hugs from across the seas, Sandy,

Well, from one big kid at heart to another, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICKI!!!!!! Have fun with your new games. I used to LOVE my Atari games, until it broke. Sniff, sniff.. I'm still trying to recover from that. (0; I tried to buy another inexpensive generic video game of some sort, but my room to play was too small, so I actually had to return it! WAH!! I want my Atari back! Loved Pac Man and Space Invaders!.. Enjoy your day today, and have some extra cake for me!!! ((hugs)) ~tina
