Happy Birthday Poppy!

It’s Pop’s 84th birthday, and just because he has to spend it in Heaven doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate it down here.

Share your favorite Pop memory in the comment section below. I’ll start.

I have two: the first is the time that squirrel fell on Pop’s head in Coral Springs and did the Road Runner shuffle until his bucket hat flew off. The second is the time my mom shot Pop in the chest with a vacuum. She burned off all his chest hair and the push back put a dent in the kitchen wall. Jesus Christ Jeanette!

Ok, go! Celebrate the spirit of Pop today with a cold beer and a funny story. And maybe a good bar fight or two.

Violators of this new amendment will be charged up to $200 in fines, but will also be put in the same class as people who resort to “masturbation, fornication and urination in public places.”

Ugh. Summer’s Over.

Just in time for summer to end, my mom, my aunts and I found the most awesome secret beach on a walk Monday. Words cannot describe how beautiful it is, or how mad my aunts were that they didn’t find it 20 years ago – because when you have 10 children under the age of 10 crying and spilling juice all over the place, you want a place where they can play without killing anyone and/or decreasing the value of your home.

I take this as a sign that summer’s not ready to be over. It’s not time yet! But I am excited for the fall. Bring on September.
