Happy Birthday to Two of My (All-Time) Favorite Guys!

All time!

March 2 is the birthday of two of my all-time favorite men. The first one I never met, but I spent a lot of time with him and we share Dartmouth, though he is the class of 1925. Tomorrow is the the 104th birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel, our beloved Dr. Seuss.  I spent many hours reading his books and was especially enthralled with "If I Ran the Zoo" and "If I Ran the Circus." Do you have a favorite Dr. Seuss book?

Thanks, Dr. Seuss for the hours of fun and laughter that you gave to the world. In your honor here's a round of cupcakes. 



We'll share some green eggs and ham, cupcake style!

The second March 2 birthday is my all-time favorite guy, my father, who was born March 2, 1917. He died in 1981, but not a day goes by without thoughts of him. Thanks, Daddy, for all of your caring and hard work. You had a great love of family, an extraordinary work ethic, and a deep commitment to our synagogue, community and country. I am a lucky, lucky woman to be your daughter. 

 My parents on their wedding day, March 2, 1947. Yes, they chose my father's birthday! 

Wishes for a very happy March 2!

Marvelous picture of your parents.

The dental asst. who cleaned my teeth today was telling me it was crazy sock day in honor of Dr. Seuss today at her daughter's school.

I hope you'll have a nice weekend.
