It’s that special day of the year we always celebrate: Sir Paul McCartney’s birthday!
In fact, in 1988, we even got all dressed up for it and invited all our friends to a big party. [Oh ye who read here, be ye not stupid. HIRE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER for an important event, no matter how tight your budget is. Scrimp on wine or something. Okay, maybe not wine. But something.]
Tom’s family, including Grandma, gathered with Tom and me to wish Sir Paul a happy birthday.
Not to be outdone, my family did the same.
Tom, Mother, and David joined me in recalling our favorite Beatles stories.
Oh, look–a shot of me with my very own Fab Four!
Joey and Jess: pretty sure they could be the next Lennon and McCartney.
Lynne was so excited that she baked and decorated not one, but TWO, birthday cakes for Sir Paul.
And Kathy L demonstrated the proper way to express Beatlemania.
My favorite photo of the day is this one, in which two miscreants were caught in the act of defacing Sir Paul’s limo. You can tell the one on the right has been in trouble before by that scrape on his face.
Family and friends still send Tom and me cards and flowers or call or email to note the occasion. Tom and I even exchange gifts.
Because some people want to fill the world with silly love songs.
I take it a happy anniversary wish is in order?
If you are so inclined. Or at least a happy birthday to Paul!
Cutest entry ever … and give Sir Tom my best!
Will do! Thanks.
Happy anniversary! Silver next year… :o)
Thanks! Yes, it is. =)
A slightly belated happy anniversary! Sir Paul should consider moving his birthday. It would make things so much easier.
Thanks!
This way, I remember his birthday. Or our anniversary. Not sure which. =)
This might be the sweetest (and cutest!) entry I have ever read.
So…
Anyway – since today is Another Day and I am Back on My Feet maybe everyone (else) will Follow Me and wish you a happy belated anniversary of the day you said I Do. One of These Days I’ll remember your anniversary on my own. Why I didn’t this time – Nobody Knows.
(Though, when I do remember, it will probably be When I’m 64 . . .)
Get It?
🙂
Happy (belated) anniversary, Becky and Tom!
Ha–you’re pretty clever there. Thanks from Tom and me. =)
Happy anniversary! Bestest!
Thanks very much, Angie!
Happy anniversary!
Thanks!
Great photos! The last one reminds me of the scene in Steel Magnolias where M’Lynn – referring to the condom covered getaway car – tells Shelby, “If you and Jackson want to practice safe sex, you’re all set!”
What a beautiful day it must have been.
It was, thanks.
The car, however, was filled with gummy worms and packing popcorn that we continued to find years later.
