A Happy Day!


30 years ago, our little Cara Lee came into the world, with a head full of hair, 9 lbs. 11 oz, and one extra finger! Also with big dimples and sucking her thumb. She's all grown up now, but will always be my Car-Car...Happy Birthday, Butchie!

Happy B'day Cara Mia - CANNOT believe it was only 30 years ago we had you in a box at the Bothell Art Fair - Miss you like 60! xoxo

Meg said...

Happy Day Car Parts! Hads cannot wait to meet her cool auntie that gave her her most favorite shoes ever! I promise to keep the Maywood horse-dog out of sight when you visit in December!
XOXO

thanks for the b-day wishes, and announcing to the world my two deepest, darkest secrets/....I was born with an extra finger and I spent a day in a box as a fair attraction!!! I've never been the same!!!

Laurie said...

that's what makes you the very special girl that you are! and you were the star attraction at the art fair (even though they had already snipped off that extra finger so we couldn't charge to look at you)

Meg said...

I always thought it was a toe??? At least that's what I have been telling all my friends for the past 28 years. Fear #95- Circus Carnies...I never knew you were one!!!

Laurie said...

If only we'd known there was going to be the Discovery Health channel, we'd have kept that little finger on! She could have been on right after the face eating tumor...

Sue said...

you guys are KILLING me - I have been falling off my chair laughing - and you KNOW I have menopausal incontinence - now, STOP torturing the girl - it'll take another 30 years to get over it!

Laurie said...

well we aren't doing Cruel Christmas anymore so we need an outlet for our cruelty

Cara said...

Last time I checked it was a finger not a toe, but my second toes are longer than the rest of my toes so I guess that's just as weird!!! Luckily I was only a carnie for a day, so no real damage done. I could have been on Medical Incredible if only we'd had Discovery Channel!!

Meg said...

Oh no worries, I think my third toes are longer than my first (of course I only have ten total, which may throw you off a little Car). Too bad the Bothell Art Fair has already passed. I could definitely be in a box!

Laurie said...

Ugh I thought long 2nd toes were fugly, long 3rd toes are making me throw up a little in my mouth..
