According to a recent news report, Hallmark sold about 88,000 birthday cards last year for people turning 100. The Census Bureau claims there are 70,000 100-year-old folks in the USA. I suppose nobody imagines arriving at that birthday until the day you find yourself trying to blow out a hundred candles on a cake.
Some birthdays slip by quietly, but last month I blew out birthday candles on three chocolate cakes....three separate occasions (thanks to Lynn and Paige) in celebration of the unremarkable 54th year.
The hats in this photo were purchased in a small grocery store in Mexico (thanks to Toby, Corinne, Romney) during a 1981 vacation in celebration of my unremarkable 29th year.
29, 54, 100....Waking up each day is actually quite remarkable!
