It's YOUR Day!

Happy, happy birthday to Meridth, today! For some unexplained reason, I am short on Meridth pictures so someone else with more photos should post pictures. Also, Monday mornings are hectic at school, so I need to get out the door, but I'm hoping things are calm and joyful at the Gimbel household in Clarksville, Tennessee.

I heard there's birthday cake for later, and hope there's donuts to get a real "Birthday Bird" start to the festivities.

Ed and I are counting down the days to see Meridth, Edward, Uschi and Felix over the Memorial Day weekend, where we can celebrate all over again.

Betsey's Oriental Birthday

Right now in Hong Kong it is 9:00 in the morning on October 4th, and Betsey is officially 31, even though here it is still October 3rd.

She says they celebrated Saturday by going to Disneyworld, there in Hong Kong, and when Richard gave her a card a short time ago, Nora said, "you already had your birthday". Isn't she a smart little girl.

Anyway, we are happy to celebrate with you across the miles, Betsey, and we hope your day is wonderful. (We hope Richard's first day of work is wonderful, too).

All our love,

the Decatur Gimbels
