Ah, yes February, my month and simultaneously my least favorite month of the year. However, February’s one redeeming value is that it does contain some birthdays of some pretty cool people. Make that “Cool” as in with below-freezing temps we are ALL pretty cool people!
Lisa Mercure celebrates on the 5th, Jennifer Adkins the 6th, Steve Elgersma the 8th, Linda Lepper the 10th, Rachel Miller the 12th, Cousin Lorraine Teefey the 17th, Chris McKay and my nephew JC Hofmeister the 19th, Pat Stover the 20th, my Father-in-law Sol Aroesty on the 21st, Brianna Warren on the 21st, my nephew Stephen Taylor on the 27th; and Pat Guy the 28th. I turn 75 on the 12th and hopefully will be celebrating doing so someplace warm. I say hopefully because at this age one never knows what tomorrow, or for that matter what today, may bring. Taking it one at a time baby!
