HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Happy 47th birthday to Roger Taylor of Duran Duran fame!



I just realised I wrote a post for some stranger's birthday, but completely forgot my own daughter's 12th birthday on April 14th. Oops.

Michelle

My thoughts today are with a little girl up the street, called Michelle. She's in grade 2 and is just the sweetest little thing. One of those kids that everyone likes, she's always friendly and is cute as a button to boot. On Wednesday morning, she was playing on the monkey bars at school and fell off. She suffered a skull fracture, an eye socket fracture, a severe concussion, knocked a tooth out and sprained her wrist. I went and saw her today. She was able to come home from the hospital this morning because despite the injuries, she's doing quite well. She just has to have bed rest and of course her parents need to watch for any changes in her condition. She actually didn't look too bad. Other than a huge purple black eye, you wouldn't really know she was injured. No big head bandage or anything. Ugh. Just the thought of her skull being broken...

On a happier note, it was another good Friday. A big bar of chocolate was delivered with the flyers. A thank you from Cailler, a famous brand of chocolate. Apparently for my continued support. I have to admit, I never buy their stuff, but who's to look a gift horse in the mouth? Especially one that gives me chocolate!

Watch out for the rabbits!

Thanks to the Austrian Rabbit Population for this one. Apparently, in the village of Linz in Austria yesterday, a hare went mental and attacked a 74-year-old woman. The rabbit also attacked her husband and then went after several police officers, who then shot it.

I'm not surprised the "victims" names were not released...

Friday the 13th

They say Friday the 13th is unlucky. I beg to differ. Andy found 200 Francs on the ground at a compost place this morning!

The Heart Beats Faster...For Some

Two days before her 12th birthday, Kolina got her first love letter. Not from the boy in her class who she has a crush on, but a boy nonetheless. I quote:

"When I see you, my heart races like the wind. I love you. From your admirer."

I have to admit, I nearly fell of my chair laughing when I read it. This is a keeper for sure!
