10. If my Dad was still living, he would have been 100 years old today

So actually I did celebrate a bit in his honor.

Nice dinner and dessert.

He was 22 years older than my Mom, and I was a late in his life baby. Mom's kind of sad today. She still misses him. He died in 91.

Also he was born in our house, so a member of our family has contiously lived in this house for over a 100 years now.

17. Awww - happy birthday to your Dad

Sounds like our family - my dad would be 100 on November 23rd this year, and he was 17 years older than Mom. I'm glad you still have your mom - both of my parents died long ago.

That's really cool about him being born in your house and someone continuously living there.

[Liberalynn]

18. Thank you

and I am sorry about the loss of both your parents. :hug:

I think our family has been on our road the longest.

Love your DU name too! :)

11. Took one of my favorite parishioners to lunch.

Her first day out and about after knee surgery. I told her I'd take her anywhere she wanted to go. She wanted a Frosty, so we went to Wendy's. And had a nice visit. It's a beautiful day here.

12. It's Harry S. Truman's Birthday!!

Born on this day in 1884.







Happy Birthday Harry!!!!! :party: :party: :party:

13. And today is Israel's Independence Day...

at least it is if you're Chris Matthews. Intelligent people usually recognize May 14 as Isarel's Independence Day.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

14. My dear pokerfan!

Well, today is my daughter's 36th birthday!

I didn't celebrate it, but I sure thought about her birth!

And remembered it...

I was 28 years old...

*sigh*

[pokerfan]

15. That brings to mind another question

Anyone here has a birthday on or around February 12 (May 8 + 280 days)? Maybe your parents were celebrating.

[Bennyboy]

16. I did, It's my brother's birthday, so I helped my dad sue him........

And I listened to 5-8-77 Grateful Dead to calm down after spending the day with my Father.

22. Vive la France!

5/8/1429: the French army lead by Jeanne D'Arc, age 17?, captured the city of Orleans thus turning the tide of the 100 years war toward the French and away from England. This victory assured French domination of Europe intil the 1800s.
