Wheeeeeee!

I missed it! :(

well, in my dept, we the super geeks of the world were counting it down...wating for a sign...which sadly was not forthcoming...or even fifth-coming for that matter. :p

Yep, nothing happened here in the a.m. at 9:09:09.

But, today is my daughters 24th birthday. That is a biggie to ME {not so much to her, it would seem}.

I wanted to show her that it is also her great-grandmothers' birthday. I have a picture of her tombstone from the internet. I check the date...she was born on 09/09/09!!! But that was 1909!!! If she were still alive she'd be 100 today.

Alex: you could always console yourself with the likes of January third, 2013

Not that is just manufactured Hallmark created artificial celebration. I want honest heartfelt moments of pure joy.

Or he could celebrate it again in 13 days; when the Julian Calendar catches up.

See! SEE! That's why nothing happened at 9:09:09 this morning. :p

How cool that you found a pic of the tombstone, MW.

My dad and my grandmother were both born on 9/9. My dad would have been 85 yesterday. My granny was born 9/9/1901 and she died in 2001, so she did make it to the century mark.

Wow, Deebs! So far, none in my family have lived that long. I believe that Grandmother was 92.

My sis actually found the headstone. A website called findagrave.com. I think it is really cool. I kind of doubt I've ever be there in person so I am happy to see this. It is a pretty headstone. I've always liked graveyards and the pretty tombstones some have created for their loved ones.
