Just a quick Tally It Up post. 70 down and 10 (partially done) to go.
Happy 30th Birthday to my smart, handsome, kind-hearted and shy son Jeff. He is a Harvard Kennedy School MP:A graduate who works as an economic analyst at the Congressional Budget Office in Washington DC. Where did the years go?
Jeff was born on my dad's birthday, which was also my maternal grandfather's birthday. He never got to meet them. My dad died when I was 14. So on July 20 I often think of the Blood, Sweat & Tears lyrics, "And when I die, and when I'm gone, there'll be one child born in this world to carry on....to carry on."
For my readers with young children -- treasure these crazy, hectic years. They grow up SO fast!
Have a great weekend!
TTFN

ReplyDeleteCongrats on being co close to being done! You're going to meet your goal!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jeff! The connection to your father and grandfather is very cool and the song is so perfect!
Look at that ever-growing stack - way to go!
ReplyDeleteThat's so interesting about the trio of family birthdays that fall on July 20; I hope your son enjoys his. You can tell him that the 30's are a great time: young enough to do lots of physical things, and starting to acquire some life experience and wisdom ;).
Happy Birthday to Jeff! Oh my... the years do go by fast. Congrats on getting all that work done and soon you'll be sighing relief. : )
ReplyDeleteInteresting birthday info and the oven mitts look great. Tell your son "happy birthday."
ReplyDeleteYes they do grow up so fast!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Jeff! What perfect song lyrics!
(I was born on the same day--a year later--that my aunt's and uncle's 2 year old son died. My uncle died on this same day many years later. I do think this is rather cool.)
You're seeing the finish line with all those lovely mitts!
Yay, almost there! They look great. Happy birthday to your son.

Wow! You have twin towers of accomplishment going there! Happy birthday to your son...and I agree with you about those years going by so quickly. Our son is 24. Only "yesterday" he was excited about his Barney birthday cake.

ReplyDeleteWow... what a tall order for mitts. Congrats and they do look wonderful. Makes me think about replacing all my old tattered and burned ones. LOL
