I love you, but it's Sally Field, not Fields.

Actually, the cake was a 9x13 white cake frosted blue with an 8 inch cake on top frosted brown (with graham cracker crumbs for sand) in the shape of an island. There were treasure hunting pirates and even a shark in the "water". I can't take credit, though - I got the idea from www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com.

He is an A list husband and father - A+. Our children may not always understand the time their father spends hunched over the keyboard, but they know he loves reading and writing, and therefore at ages 6 and 2, they already do, too. And more importantly, they absolutely know he loves them. And he loves God. And, thank God, he loves me.

No, there were no pants in the dryer, and thank God, the pants on Marcus were not fried. However, when all the electricity went out in our brand new house only the second day of living there, I was a bit fried myself. But God works all things to the good of those that love Him, right? And, in my house, that good is often the resulting poem.

No, but it may have been a stunt to gather material for poetry - you never know.......

Thanks Craver - I was hoping someone would acknowledge it - he thinks birthdays are no big deal. But without this day there would be no Good Word Editing! WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!

Thanks Mary - I play Gwendolyn - should be fun.

Carl - I thought Kindergarten was harder. That comes for our son in two years. I'm stocking up on Kleenex.

And, FYI to Marcus' readers - those 1000 words a day have been really good! I am his wife, but....they are.

WP was born in 1836, not 1936. That hundred years makes a big difference. He is my great great great grandfather, after all.

I'll answer that for you, RLP.

The Carrolls and the Stevens are my ancestors - I am the great granddaughter of a Stevens and a Carroll union. 3 generations of Carrolls and Stevens are buried in this cemetery - both sets of great great great grandparents, both sets of great great grandparents, and both sets of great grandparents. And countless cousins, etc. I am probably related to almost everyone in Victoria and Yoakum, TX.

The first weekend of May is the annual Decoration Day where you spend Saturday cleaning up the cemetery and putting out new silk flowers, and then Sunday after lots of gospel singing at the tiny Fordtran Church of Christ (the Carrolls are not Baptists like the Stevens and we do church with the Carrolls), there is a big picnic on the grounds of the cemetery. The Carrolls, Stevens, and Fudges (another intermarrying clan) are all represented.

More than you wanted to know, I'm sure.

Not really, L.L., I've been called worse. I just realized I look horribly old in this picture - it's because I still have on my stage makeup from Willy Wonka - I had just returned from a matinee performance to find the treehouse complete.
