“Oh but I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now”*

Always the most glamorous member of the family, even in middle school.

Daughter #1’s birthday was Wednesday, but we will be celebrating it this Saturday. We are going to our flyover town’s annual Greentree Parade where we will sit in folding chairs and watch the local high school bands and elementary school floats go by. The wee babes are coming along and it should be a good ol’ time.

There will be presents, although nothing as cool as a new bike…

I will also note that today, besides being Friday the 13th, is the harvest moon. It is the harvest moon because it occurs during the harvest and near the autumnal equinox (which this year falls on September 23). So be sure to check it out tonight.

And here’s a little Bobby D, always appropriate for the occasion:

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
-Romans 15:13
