August 11 Happy Birthday To Me In Texas

Most first Mondays of every month a select group of my class of fellow graduates of Burlington-Edison High School meet at a Burlington Hawaiian restaurant called Coconut Kenny's to have themselves a high school reunion experience.

That and to write happy birthday messages on cards to be sent to those in our class having a birthday that month.

My birthday happens to happen on this August month, on this very 11th day of that particular month.

And, what did I find today in my mailbox?

The happy birthday card with happy birthday wishes you see photo documented above.

And seconds ago the following popped up on Facebook from Elsie Hotpepper...

Also in my mailbox, but arriving on Saturday, but not opened til today, an envelope from Arizona containing the following from little sister Jackie.

And then there was a loud knock on the door.

Federal Express left a large box.

Upon opening the box I eventually was able to open a thick refrigeration bag to find a container which contained a big block of bleu cheese.

Bleu cheese is my favorite in the cheese family, with extra sharp cheddar a close second.

And there you have it, some of my happy birthday day today. Fireworks predicted later today, in the form of a thunderstorm, with potential flash flooding...
