"Oh, no! You can’t be out of soup!" ~ Jama, a day old

Thanks so much for wishing my dad a Happy Birthday on Monday!

He was tickled pink, and contrary to his comment about being shy, he loves the occasional limelight :)!

One reason we’re so much alike in temperament is that we’re both Scorpios, and today I’m celebrating my 50-something,
40-ish, 39th, 25th birthday.

Geez. Bring on the Geritol. Okay, most of you don’t even know what Geritol is, right? It’s not easy being wrinkled.

Today, I am thankful for YOU!!

Thanks for your warmth, support, and slurping!

To celebrate, I’m off on a grand adventure this weekend. I’ll tell you all about it when I get back.

Hint: I’ll be going here, but gathering no moss.

  3. Happy Birthday!!!

    So – are you going to a Bob Dylan Concert — or a Rolling Stones concert?

    I know what Geritol is — from the commercials on the Ted Mack Amateur Hour
    it’s something for iron – poor blood

  4. Happy Birthday!

    Yes, I found Geritol at the drugstore, bottom shelf of the vitamins. Almost bought it. Funny, I took it when I was half my present age.

  16. Happy Birthday! And… yeah – have a fabulous adventure… I’m guessing Dylan – in New York? The Stones’ aren’t on tour right now, but he is. (Either case – have a wonderful time! Can I be a little jealous?) :^D

  17. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I definitely count myself lucky to have stumbled upon your blog. I’m guessing you’re going to a Stones concert?

    And yes, I know what Geritol is. “For iron-poor blood!” My Tahitian teacher used to tell us that we apparently needed Geritol, after collapsing in an exhausted heap during class. 😛

  19. oops, I assumed Rolling Stones. Perhaps I should change that to “complete with Dylanesque nasal twang”)

    Enjoy your lovely day! Go eat soup!

  22. I guess I was wrong about people knowing Geritol. I don’t feel so badly now 🙂 And thanks so much for reading and commenting. It’s great to know you’re out there!

  31. lol – I LOVE doing research! And, I think I was a detective in another life. ;^) Have a blast! I’ll wish I was there – and, yeah… Geritol & Ted Mack (American Idol has nothing on him!)

  33. When you’re there, could you yell up to Bob on the stage and ask him about the Rolling Thunder Revue tour in the Seventies? I need some info.

    Have a great time. 🙂

    Happy Birthday Jama:

    Don’t feel bad. You don’t technically hit “old age” status until you reach our age. (Lenny & me) Hope you enjoy celebrating your birthday!

    Love,

  58. Happy Birthday. That’s neat that you share a birthday so close to your dad’s. My second daughter and I have our birthdays one day apart. So it’s something special
