February 11th!

Does February 11th ring any bells? Yes! It was the day that Thomas Alva Edison was born. Hmmm, is today special for any other reasons?


HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD AND SHAWN!!!

Bday


happy birthday shawn


After a short analysis of Edison, Dad and Shawn, a pattern emerged. Here are the top four since I couldn't think of ten. If you were born on February 11th...

4. You don't like to throw anything out. You use tin foil to invent the phonograph. You keep snowblowers from the 60's even though you have a brand new one. You keep receipts for 99 cent menu items from Wendy's.

Snowblower

3. You enjoy tinkering. It can be with carbon microphones, cars, or cells.


2. You invent. You invent the light bulb, tape ejector sticks or ketchup packet attachments.

1. Kelly loves you! (Yes, I do love Edison. I'm a big fan of the light bulb!)

I'm very proud of my '68 Snowbird - starts on the first pull every time. The "custom made" stick was for the broken tape eject mechanism on the old Voyager mini-van. Couldn't disappoint the hundreds of people who traveled thousands of miles in that rig with you! Thanks for your thoughts and Happy Birthday Shawn! What are the chances???

LOVED your birthday blog for Dad and Shawn! You forgot to mention that Dad's middle name of Thomas was actually selected in honor of Thomas Edison!!!
