Your is some cool company today! Though Kevorkian? maybe not so cool... Happy Birthday to you and your niece!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I agree about Dr. Jack. Maybe replace him with Sally Ride, the first American woman and youngest American (at the time) to enter space.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! I hope it's filled with all the good things you deserve. (Oh and Peggy Lee? That song was SOOO the story of my love life for the longest time.)
ReplyDeleteI'm in a house full of Geminis and geez, it's fun! LOL I get so frustrated when it's time to do take out. I'll ask, "What does everyone have a taste for?" Their answer? "I dunno. It doesn't matter to me. You choose." I figure God must be punishing me! LOL
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you and to your niece.
Happy birthday! This was such an interesting post, seeing the wide variety of people born on this date. Lots of favorites in that list.
ReplyDeleteI’m so glad you found my blog. I really enjoyed reading your comments on the two posts…eh…maybe not so much about loving the bloody meat. LOL
Hope you have a fun B-day celebration tonight!

Hey!!!!! Happy Birthday!!! It's mighty interesting to see who was born on one's birthday. I share mine with Walter Cronkite, Markie Post, Loretta Swit and Sean Puff Daddy Diddy Whatever Combs. You share yours with some good ones!!!
ReplyDeleteWould you like some voodoo lilies as a birthday present? I grow them more for their foliage rather than their very weird inflorescences. Let me know via email and I can mail some out to you. :-) Hope you had a great birthday.
Happy Birthday! (A day late....sorry!) LOVE your music playlist. Music goes right to my heart!
