It's really tomorrow, but personally, I think "birthday week" should be a national holiday. Meow.

He's not ready to party yet Maybe not, but he sure does have some pretty slippies. In the meantime, I brought a few donuts.

"Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Katie Happy birthday to you." My gift to you is that you don't have to actually hear it! I'm confident that Laura would feel duty-bound to adopt me herself or to find me a good home!

Happy B-day, Katie MattieGroves Cougar-Lady!
By request, a poem posted elsewhere, composed by the legendary D. T. Oldman in honor of The Delightful Miss Fairweather, with an explanatory note by his devoted nephew, Leopold Reffensor, and followed by "an appreciation" (for want of a better term) by Albert Banfill, DT's literary agent. I have seen fit to remove the sales pitch that accompanied the original:
*** Hay albert
here is the poems that went mssing sorry they must have fell out in the truck and anyway Ty didn’t seem none too sure about this Fairweather person whether he knew her or not, and I couldn’t dislodge from his head that her first name weren’t heather. As a consequence he apparently worked quite a bit to strike a cordial tone without suggesting too much familiarity with the mention of leather xsetera. b ut there is only so many words that rime with weather. Though as we know he can be quite a imaginative fellow as with them ones he wrote about that cougar lady a wile back. But as you said it may be best to spare them poems of that nature for a second volume markeded for adults only.
This here poem is for Miss Heather, Who some folks refer to as Fairweather. And she’s wonderful whether She’s wearing some sneakers or shoes of leather. And in her hat she might wear a feather.
And I hear tell her last name is Lewis, Of an old family who used to knew us, And they always would how-do-you-do us When ever they chanced for to … {I can’t read this] Some say they was from St. Loius.
Ty also says to say hello to Sadie if she stops through again and to Roscoe if he is the one who we think he is but he would have to look over them tatoos probably to be certain as it has been quite a number of years and folks change so.
Yours truly, Leopold.
**
[And an interpretive passage by Albert B., who seems to be himself somewhat taken by Ms. F. g]
Here Mr Oldman seems to have regained for a moment some of his finely-wrought powers of description that so earned him such accolades over the years. The very tentativeness of this endeavor is so very touching yet at once earnest; he starts, as ever, with his invocation, calling up the spirit, as it were, of this person he but scarcely knows yet wishes to know better…He is curious; he must fall back on reputation, as in “Some folks say…”; then on to a head-to-toe description of this new idol. And then, the mystery continues and the intrigue grows! A last name, a possible family connection and the suggestion of an old cordial relationship so much beloved in Southern culture; “almost family” as they say. And he ends in a final note of mystery; he must resort again to hear-say in that final cadence – “from St. Loius” [sic]. How the mis-spelling of that city of mystery reflects his inner turmoil, the longing of the "I" to be “us”! Was ever the genius of Durwood Tybalt Oldman so casually, yet so eloquently, on display?
***
Wishing you all the best, KT!

This is our waiter for the day. His name is Gusti. I borrowed him from his employer, a Mexican restaurant owner. Gusti speaks Spanish and will help with all the serving. He is from Bali..hmmm as in Bali 'South Pacific' Bali? Could be. He'll serve up Baked Alaska later. He said if we ever want to take a trip to Bali, let him know, he'll show us around. For today's festivities he'll even put on a big floppy Mexican hat and do a dance.

No party would be complete without music. So I've hired a Mariachi Band.. To play fine music while we enjoy some Mexican food...
