“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO…..ME….!!!”

…………………….On JULY 23rd, 1948 I was born at 11:45 pm at the Midwood Hospital in Brooklyn……..My mother told me it wasn’t a long labor…but….my father was playing cards around the corner, and she had to wait for him, and send my grandfather to get him!…..so things were in a bit of a rush…..My Mom also told me I was a good baby [well just look at that face!]…I love my little sweater with the chicks on it…..My older brother was colic baby….so I was the GOOD baby….LOL…..As you can see I always had BIG EYES and my signature eyebrows….Now that I’m older I think I have the same body I had as a baby!!!! Isn’t that what they say….when we get older we revert back to childhood?………..If Jac were here my Birthday would have been a month long celebration ending with a layered ice cream cake of chocolate chocolate chip and Oreo cookies and cream with blue flowers on top and all of my babies names on it…past and present!!!!

    Happy birthday to our favorite LEO! What an adorable baby you were; you must have been very popular in the “let me hold that baby” family visits.

    Dear Louis, Happiest of Happy Birthdays! Love the baby pictures :). You share both a birthday week AND a birthday year with my dear Walter!!! I could’t bake so I sent him out to pick up home made fried chicken dinner (his favorite) and dessert from our chef friends … and he brought back a dessert too. Our daughter and grandson met us Sunday in Lancaster, and brought him a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, so he’s been feasting all week long. Happy Birthday, Louis; we send you Love and Blessings!

My Mom told me stories about how my father played cards in the back of the church, the church his Father was Pastor of !!! Must have been a popular pastime, just let it go at that.๐Ÿ˜€ Hope you have enjoyed your dayโ€”and managed to dip into some ice
    cream somewhere! Keep celebrating fellow Leo !!! Love Ya.

    Happy Birthday Louis! Remember the song “You must have been a beautiful baby” ? Those lyrics came to mind when looking at your adorable baby pics. I’m a Leo too …August 10th.

    In your honor, I just bought the Roma necklace. ๐Ÿ™‚
    I love the Amalfi necklace, but it seemed lonesome.

    Happy Birthday, Louis! Cheers for a wonderful day, and a blessed year to come. I totally agree with a Birthday Month celebration. My birthday is the last day of August, and I have claimed the whole month as a time to do something a little special each day.
