May Birthdays, 2011:

Uncle Harold and his tomatoes


Jeff and Carol Hauf



Spring HAS arrived, and with it, plenty of flowers and tornadoes and wind and rain. But, the sun also shines through, and I have hopes that my lilac bushes will bloom this month. A few quotes to hopefully brighten your day--



"Don't knock the weather: nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while."
- Kin Hubbard



"If it's drama that you sigh for, plant a garden and you'll get it. You will know the thrill of battle fighting foes that will beset it. If you long for entertainment and for pageantry most glowing, plant a garden and this summer spend your time with green things growing."
- Edward A. Guest, Plant a Garden

Pat-I enjoy the blogsite so much-every year I neglect to tell you there are two more birthdays in May for Phyllis's family-I am making a special effort to tell you that Rhoda's son John Coleman has a birthday on my birthday as well as Joseph Patten-Annie and Ed's son. Joe was born May 3 1980 and I am not sure about the year John was born I think it was 1975. I thought it was about time I got around and told you . Love Joyce

I forgot Annie and Ed's other son Douglas Shoemaker is also in May. I believe it is on the 20th I am not sure of the year Doug was born. I can find out when I talk to Annie. I cannot believe I let this go for so long. Joyce

Kathryn, Thank you for your cheers!

Joyce, Thank you for these three extra names. Now that you give me their names and parents, I could find them in my genealogy tree and see that you are correct in all your details!

Douglas (if Mom's information is correct)was born on May 20th, 1974.

I have added the three of them to the master list I work off of, so hopefully we will be all set next May.

Sounds like we need to create a May 3rd Party next year on the blog to celebrate the many cousins born on that day!

Love to you both,

You know the Taylor/Baker group is getting bigger and bigger - that looking at the Birthday list almost looks like the Begats in the bible - LOL

Happy Birthday wishes to everyone and as always Pat your efforts are more appreciated than we probably every tell you.
