I've been astounded by the number of comments on my last throw-away post, which simply told you it was my birthday. So I'm somewhat embarrassed to add anything else, lest it appear I'm simply milking this -- but this is just too precious not to share.
Yesterday I received a belated birthday card from my two-year-old granddaughter (maybe her parents helped with the postage). Anyway, she apparently had some difficulty finding a card specifically for a 57th birthday, so she did the sensible thing and taped together two cards -- one for a 50th birthday and the other for a seventh birthday. (I suppose that was cheaper and more expedient that sending five ten-year-old cards plus change.)
So, to wrap up my rambling preamble, here's what I found in the envelope:
An amazing little math whiz that Abby is.

So you are a dinosaur and a dog? That is not right. I know what a dog says, but what does a dinosaur say?
Isn't dinosaur a word for a guy that does not get computers? You know computers, so that is not you.
No, I'm the Dad-o-saur. Older than dirt, but strangely fascinating to toddlers who love Barney.
LOL - more than a few days late and a couple dollars short - a belated Happy Birthday to you.
I only remember how old I am when I decide it's worth it to subtract and see what I get. I like the Dad-o-saur card though. Well done Abby. *grin*
Grand Girls are just so great. I took mine out sliding on the ice in a parking lot today. They thought it was great fun.
Love it! That is a treasure to keep for a very long time.
As I wrote over at Joyce's blog, I really look forward to reading both of your posts. You both write so well. I shoud take some notes. At any rate, I slipped in a little something I thought was humorous next to the last picture on my post tonight.
am i the only one that thinks that if you compare the youthful Bob pic to the dinosaur it almost looks like one of those age forward types of things?
Piper--
Nah, the Dad-o-saur looks nothing like the dinosaur. Actually, I look more like the love-child of Dick Cheney and E.T.
Jamie--
Joyce and I only seem funny; we're actually very dour. I'll have to check out your latest.
Bag Blog--
Yeah, grandkids are grand. You know what -- I bet that's why they're called grandchildren.
Teresa--
Our son Andy ... er, I mean our granddaughter Abby ... cracks me up. (Quick recovery there, eh?)
Bob, I was confused about my tonights post comment about sliding on the bum and the picture on tomorrows post. Oh dear.
I love that. I love too that someone, either of them or both of them (your son and dil) put some funny thought into it. You and Joyce did a lot right...
OK I commented the other day but it didn't save! BUMMER.
Happy Very Belated Birthday right now.
Older than a Dadosaur...not bad. It's when she says you're older than dirt that you have to worry!
Too Cute! I can't wait to meet this Little Abby.

Happy Happy Birthday!
Missy--
At my age every birthday is a milestone.
Amber--
The men of our family marry well and the women we marry give birth to the cutest babies. Abby is soooo cute.
Hula--
But I am older than dirt. It was a rough childhood I had. Nothing but rocks everywhere, but at least I didn't have to worry about getting dirty.
Bou--
At first I read your comment as: "You and Joyce did a lot, right?" Punctuation is important.
Jamie--
I'll never tell -- I'm always confused.
No, no, I meant it as I put it.
You and Joyce did a lot right.
As in, did a lot correctly with your children and continue to do so with you inlaw children... who... mmm... are probably children to you now. I suspect with you and Joyce, the 'inlaw' thing is not needed or warranted.
Thanks for the compliment. I have to credit Joyce for most of what "we" did right. Speaking of in-laws, we're going to gain a new daughter-in-law later this year. She's a gem. If there's one thing we do well in our family, it's picking wives.
