One More Year

I always talk about serendipity but I really am a firm believer in happenstance. Just as I was heading to bed last night I received an e-mail from that Calamity Jane of blogdom, Yellowdog Granny. She had sent me a link to a Birthday calculator. So I gave it a whirl and found out that:

As of 12/8/2008 5:10:28 PM EST

You were born on a Monday under the astrological sign Sagittarius.

There is 1 day till your next birthday (that would be today) on which your cake will have 62 candles.

Those 62 candles produce 62 BTUs, or 15,624 calories of heat (that's only 15.6240 food Calories!) You can boil 7.09 US ounces of water with that many candles.

This gentleman holding me in his arms would be my father. This would have been taken when I was about 6 months old.

That second gentleman holding me in his arms - hmm is there a pattern developing - is an Officer on RMS Ascania. I would have been around 3 and my mother and I were heading for Belfast to visit my grandmother. The ship went from Halifax to Liverpool - a 7 day journey.

It says this was taken at my Birthday party but I notice we're all in short pants, so unless winter's were milder then ... And we know they weren't, why that winter of 1950 we walked to school barefoot in 20 feet of ... continued old man mutterings. From left to right we would have young Billy John, Harry, Sharon, Doreen, Judy, the big guy I really don't know and Davey. Looks like Our Gang!
