Today is my father's birthday. Well, today or yesterday. It was a HUGE family joke. I could never remember if it was the 26th or the 27th. (And even when I did remember - I 'didn't'). And I would call or come over with presents on the 26th and my Dad would laugh at me, I would wait until the 27th, and he would ask where I was yesterday.

I have my father's birth certificate, his marriage certificate and his death certificate, all with this very important date documented........and I even know where they are.

But, I won't peek. It would ruin the fun. I sent Happy Birthday prayers yesterday, and I'll send them again today. And, with any luck, I"ll hear Daddy laughing from Heaven.

Happy Birthday Daddy! (Or maybe that was yesterday).

Today is my Father's birthday. Well, today or tomorrow. It was a HUGE family joke - I could never remember if it was the 26th or the 27th (and even when I DID remember - I 'didn't'). And I would call or come over with presents on the 26th and my Dad would laugh at me- or, I would wait until the 27th - and he would ask where I was the day before.

It's an Aye-Aye !


A type of lemur from Madagascar.

Name that critter


Got a few of responses. 'It's a weird bat' - or, my daughter-in-law and the director at the local animal shelter (yes, I e-mailed him too) think it's photo shopped. (Altho the director did promise to call me if one shows up at the shelter.)

If anyone knows what kind of critter this is...please let me know. I THINK it's a baby opossum.
