I'm Old

Well, we picked up our new camera yesterday. I'll post the first pictures from the Fuji here. But first...the ramblings.

So it's someone's birthday today. He's creative, an artistic genius. He was also named after his brother, who died nine months earlier at only 21 months old. Yes, I share a birthday with one of the strangest artists I've heard of...and one of my favorites.

Dali's mother often referred to her dead firstborn as a "genius" and took the infant Dali to see his brother's grave, which, for the little child, seeing his own name on the headstone, was deeply disturbing.

Salvador Dali and I share a birthday. He's the guy who painted the melting clocks and other surreal pieces.

But, I also share a 'day-of-the-week' birthday with Ava. We were both born on Wednesday. Pretty cool stuff.

Anyway, Tuesday Ava and I spent the evening together. Mama had to work. And we surprised her with a visit, to bring her a car. I'll post some of those eventually.

Ava cuddled in with me last night...she practically burrowed into the crook of my arm.


Look at her cute little knee.


I used the fancy-shmancy timer function for this family photo. I'm still figuring out the focus functions and such.



So that's the news for today. Thank you mom and dad. It may be my birthday, but I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you. We'll see you for strawberries tonight! ((Mom just sent me an email "singing" to me - it was nice)) I hope everyone has a great day!
