This is the young man with the intelligence to ace his spelling test, the good sense to root for the Yankees, and the maturity and kindness to help his younger brother and Dad through some hard times.
Michael I hope this is the best birthday ever. And that each one to follow is even better.HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Love, Your Mudcat Aunt Mary

Michael does not know what to make of this!! We read the messages and in each case I told him where you were from and something about you. I said, "I bet you're the only kid in your school who gets birthday greetings from all over the country AND all over the world." He's more than a little embarrassed and the Ol' Man here is loving it. I'll print it out and send it to school with him which will add to the "aw gee" factor.

He's a fantastic (bragging Dad) little artist and he wants to decorate his own cake for the party with Connie and Wayne, which I think we'll do at the hospital tomorrow. He's gotten plenty of neat art stuff for his birthday, plus a couple of new Pokemon decks and a new Pokemon card Notebook. AND.....An an Eastern box Turtle (with assorted paraphernalia) named Bessie.

Michael is standing here beside me and he says, "I want to say thank you."...........This really gets him, doesn't know what to make of it!!!

Thanks Mary......We needed this. And thanks to all the rest of you for playing along.....you're great folks!!

Ah, the Eastern Box, a fine specimen -- I believe it's Terrapin Carolina Carolina, to be precise. Used to have three of them running wild in my living room. Such fun to have them suddenly appear next to you or between an unsuspecting neighbor's feet! We'd race 'em, too, at the annual International Federation for the Advancement of Racing Turtles (seriously) meet in Chester, NJ. My Old Yeller and Queenie were advancing through the heats until they ran into Three-feet Pete (you can figure that one out) who never stopped running all day despite his handicap. Joe D. said it was all due to the steady pre-race diet of gunpowder and tabasco sauce! (Just kidding!) But, I digress . . . HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hey, Mikey, I would have seen this thread and sent this greeting earlier but Mudcat wasn't letting me in on Sunday (maybe observing the holiday Seedless Sunday). You've got a great dad--even if he tends to be a bit goofy at times--and any Spawn of his'n has gotta have a touch of the divine madness as well. Just stay away from his goofy pals, Cletus and the gang.

Greetings, Michael, from the temporary electoral capitol of the mostly free world - Tallahassee, FL. I would have gotten here sooner, but I got tied up in traffic behind all those TV trucks and portable studios that have been stuck all over town for the last two and a half weeks. Most of them seem to be leaving town today, now that Florida officials have decided who won the election. You can make a solemn birthday pledge to yourself, your mom & dad, and all your "Mudcat Family" to never miss a chance to vote. Lot's of people didn't fulfill that sacred obligation this time around, and most of them are sorry they didn't. Be sure to give your mom a hug and a kiss from all YOUR friends here at Mudcat.

Another Australian Happy Birthday. I'm from Newcastle, New South Wales, which is 100 miles north of Sydney.

Did you try the Vegemite I sent over, or was that just your crazy Dad?

Hope you had a great day. I've been thinking about all of you since your Mum went into hospital.

Lots of love Helen
