Several June birthdays in the Buzzy family starting with my niece Jean (Hofmeister) Johnson who celebrates her’s today; my grandson Shawn Ridgell 2 June; Wayne Wiley 8 June; Teenie Boy 11 June; my sister Donna Jean Taylor 12 June; Kayla McKay 13 June; Cheryl Trossbach and Lois Williams on 18 June; Sheryl Mandeville 22 June; my great nephew Wyatt Taylor 23 June; my nephew Todd Taylor 28 June; Michele Lengel on 29 June; and my Grandaughter Marley Ridgell on 30 June.
These first day of the month Buzzy Birthday blogposts are usually upbeat and kind of fun for me to do. They are also one of the easier posts that I do because I simply cut and paste from the list done the previous year and hit publish.
However, I always review the list to make sure that everyone listed the previous year is still around. And whenever someone listed the previous year is not still here, it always brings me down because I have to literally delete them. The symbolism of doing so saddens me all the more that they are no longer here with us.
For example, this year it was Lee Carroll whose birthday would have been on June 17th. Swing by that day and we will have one in his memory.
Note, as I look at the Buzzy calendar record of birthdays that we celebrated in previous years, I see three other June birthdays of good Buzzy friends who are no longer with us:
And because all these guys are on my mind, musically, lets go with this instrumental today from Brian Culbertson:
