Guess Who’s 50 Today?

You better not have guessed me!
Nope, sorry, I’m not that OLD yet.
Look at this old and wrinkled sweet and well-preserved hospital bassinet card his mom saved and gave to me.
He was a scrawny little thing.
PhilBillPaul is the BIG 5-0 today!
Please join me in wishing him a Happy Half Century!
I capitalize on every opportunity to remind him that he is much wiser older than me.
I can’t tell you yet what we gave him because we aren’t actually celebrating as a family until Tuesday when everyone will be home on the same evening which is no small miracle with school starting today and three busy, busy teens. They have assured me they can work in a family dinner on Tuesday evening and will grace us with their presence.
I’ll try to remember to share his lovely gift with you later this week.
Until then, he did take the day off and we’re off to play golf!
Side note to mothers (and Granny): Remember those cute outfits you dressed your darling child in and then took them for a professional photograph? Because your darling child was born before the internet was born…
Um, yeah, the birth of the internet has made those pictures available to the world.
Happy Birthday Cowboy!
With Love,
That is the cutest pic!! Tell Phil that we said happy birthday!!!!
Happy Birthday PhilBillPaul!
Fifty is not old – it’s the new 40! You go guy! I am the speed limit on county roads now – 55! Fifty-five is the new forty-five. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!
Karen » I’ll pass that on and it means I’m even younger too
Congratulations on the big Five OH!!
What is so incredibley ironic is that I too have the same little baby tag as his from Pet Milk. I will be 49! Although, I was born in Arizona. Pet Milk must have had some kind of advertising rackett going on across the nation for a few years.
Same stork, same little baby looking upwards. Same centruy!
I too have this same tag from right here in good ole Atlanta, GA!! So, yes they must have had some kind of racket going on.
sorry to be so late in responding but of COURSE I knew it wasn’t you since I KNOW you’re younger than me!! I’m a lot closer in age to your hubby.
You know our friend Joette has one of these special birthdays this year.
Rhonda » Apparently Pet Milk had an exclusive contract with hospitals across the nation. See Melinda’s comment and she was born in Georgia. That’s three states not even connected to one another!
Melinda » I’m impressed you all have your birth card – my mom saved NOTHING! Must be why I’m such a packrat?
