Happy Birthday, George, Abe and Charlie!

Today is President's Day.  We celebrate George Washington and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays.  Happy Birthday, Guys!!  

If we were going to have cakes with candles, we would have to make sure we had fire extinguishers close by.  Washington, the first president, would be 274 years on his birthday.  His official birth date is February 22, 1732.   Lincoln's birth date is February 12, 1809 and was 197 years old. 

                                             

Now, you're asking yourself, who is Charlie?  Charlie was my only child and today would have been his 23rd birthday.  He was a good kid... perfect in every way.  He was born with spina bifida and was a paraplegic.  He lived for 14 1/2  years before respiratory problems got the best of him.  I just wanted to take a small amount of space and honor him today.  I love you, buddy!!
