Historical Day

August 13th is full of historical events...

It's Dad's birthday. Here he is in one of his most notable poses. (He's a baby hog) Among his alias's: Wendell, Daddy, Grandpa, Uncle Pa-Pa, and Pinball. He's one of those guys that sometimes you just don't know what to get him for a gift. If you ask him, he will likely tell you exactly what he'd like... but then it's not actually a surprise. Over the years I have found that he likes a particular magazine subscription - Farmshow. Other than than, I have recently found a few more "needed" items to get him... shorts, socks, shoes, etc. Happy Birthday Dad. Enjoy it!

It's Rachel's birthday. Rachel is married to Keith's Dad, so she is my Step-Mother-In-Law. She lives in North Carolina. I can't wait to go visit! Some of her interests of which I am aware are... collecting owls and gazebos. When she lived in Cincinatti, she worked on the side as a wedding coordinator. She loves weddings! She is a delightful lady. I only wish we could visit with her more! Enjoy your birthday!!!!

It's Rob's birthday. Rob used to be the newest member of the Vulhop family... (He joined the "inlaw club" when he married Tammy) until he was upstaged by Hayden. He's married to Keith's sister, Tammy. They live in Cathedral City, California, which is near Palm Springs. He is a delightful fellow. We haven't seen this couple for some time as we live so far apart. Again... another family member that we see way too little of. Needless to say, we hope you have a fantastic birthday!

It's Carolyn and Greg's anniversary. Here's one that I don't have a picture of. Sorry. Carolyn and Greg boarded my horse for me for about 10 years. I have since moved on, and haven't actually had much contact with them recently. I do always remember that her birthday is August 2nd and their anniversary is August 13th.

So there we have it... August is full of these kinds of special days. Today just happens to be one of those multiple multiple celebration days! Enjoy everyone! We plan to live it up with a picnic at Mom and Dad's this afternoon! YIPPIE!!!
