Tomorrow I am taking my daughter out to lunch for her birthday. It is a few days later, but close enough. Granddaughter Emma's birthday is coming later this month. Usually, she has a birthday party. I don't know if that will happen this year, as Brenda is having house guests during that time frame. Two of Gerry's grandchildren also have birthdays the first week of November. With our family, it seems like someone's birthday is always coming up. There are a bunch of them in April (most of the male Rehkuglers). There are birthdays and anniversary in September, and now a new anniversary as well, so that will make two birthdays and two anniversaries all in September.
Gerry has been writing and pondering about puns and limericks this evening. He could not get his creative juices going to write one, so just to show off, I gave it a shot:
I have a daughter named Michelle
who doesn't like birthdays so well
If gathering, its best not to mention
for she really doesn't love the attention
So we surprise her and simply not tell.
It's just a limerick, but mostly accurate, I think. At least I don't ever remember Michelle agreeing to have a large gathering for her birthday. I do think she usually declines such invitations. At least we all got to enjoy her being the center of attention for her wedding, which even she enjoyed!
To my knowledge, her anniversary will be the only family celebration in the month of August!
