...happy birthday to me [again...]



you'd think that I should be used to it by now...
there having been quite a few already...
but the annual recurrence of this "change of age"...
always seems to catch me a bit unaware...

or at least, unprepared...

so in light of this anniversary, I post this song...
[I write from memory as I can't find it anywhere...]

enjoy...

"Happy birthday to me...
I'm older, you see...
but there are still some things I don't know...

like, where do you run ? when you've run out of fun...
and played every game that you know...

hearts & flowers...& hide & go seek...
run, sheep run and the lot...
hearts & flowers, by the hours...
play them & what have you got ?

happy birthday to me...
I'm older you see...
but there are still some things I don't know...
like, why does it take...
a birthday to make us wonder...
how little we've grown ?"

A very HAPPT BIRTHDAY to you! May this next year of your life be filled with good health, happiness, joy and that special peace that passes all understanding that only comes from the Lord!

Love and Hugs!

Catsinger, I just found your blog, thanks to your lovely pictures of your epic bathroom remodel--it's so much fun to read! Just wanted to let you know my coffee breaks are more entertaining lately, thanks to you.

...thanks for the good wishes,M&CM...
Amy, welcome... it's hard to believe that my bathroom is still less than a year old... it's nice to not have to worry about the various problems of the old bath[ie rotten floor boards & leaking plumbing...]

Oh, I'm so behind on reading blogs! Happy birthday a day late, and may you have many more! As they say, getting older may be a pain, but consider the alternative!
