Kisses & Hugs To Another Birthday Girl

Having to celebrate birthdays separated from your loved ones can be sad, but being there is not impossible. Thanks to modern technology, I am able to watch my granddaughter open her gifts and shout Happy Birthday along with her sisters.

Today is my #4 granddaughter's #6 birthday.

Happy Birthday MK!

The virtual parties do help alleviate the feeling of distance a little...it's nice to have the option!

My tiniest (at birth) child informed me at bedtime last night that she did not have a good birthday. Thankfully, this morning she reported that she'd like to have her birthday again today - a sure sign, I'd think, that it was, indeed, a Happy Birthday.

Thanks for coming to the party, Gramma! And they're all loving your gifts.

I am so happy you got to be 'present' at her party. I am so thankful for so much of modern technology. I hope she had a very special birthday. She has a wonderful grandmother!

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."

...."We were Birds Without Wings. You were a robin and I was a blackbird. And there were some who were eagles or vultures or pretty gold finches, but none of us had wings. For birds with wings nothing changes. They fly where they will and they know nothing about borders and their quarrels are very small. But we are always confined to earth, no matter how much we climb to the high places and flap our arms. Because we cannot fly we are condemned to do things that do not agree with us. Because we have no wings we are pushed into struggles and abominations that we did not seek and then after all that, the years go by. The mountains are leveled. The valleys rise. The rivers are blocked by sand and the cliffs fall into the sea." -Louis De Berniere

Who Said It First?

The phrase "little birdie told me so" may find it's origins in this Bible verse. "Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say" (Ecclesiastes 10:20). The earliest form of the saying was included in John Heywood's collection of proverbs (1546). In 1583, Brian Melbancke wrote in 'Philotimus'" 'I had a little bird, that brought me newes of it.' In 1711, in 'Letter to Stella,' Jonathan Swift came close to the current version: 'I heard a little bird say so.'
