| Random group of weird kids on August 6, 1954. I'm going to pretend they are celebrating my birth |
It was a Friday.
Emilie Dionne, one of the Dionne Quintuplets, dies of asphyxiation following an epileptic seizure at Sainte Agathe, Quebec. She was the first of the five to perish, and three of them lived into the 21st Century.
And apparently NOTHING other than my arrival happened on this date in 1954. So I'll give you some fun facts about August 6:
- Lucille Ball was born (1911) Other notable August 6 babies: Andy Warhol, M. Night Shyamalan, Ginger Spice
- The atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima (1945)
- The electric chair was used for the first time (1890)
- World War I began (1914)
- Gertrude Ederle became the first woman to swim the English Channel (1924)
- The Beatles released the album "Help!" (1965)

happy bday sissie. You would be just as happy to share it with Lucy the pup too. Have a grand time.
well yes I would, and Lucy Lou's first birthday is TOMORROW! So I guess we are sharing. :-)
Technically, we don't really know LucyLou's bday - the 7th was just a guess, so if you really wanted to share it I would let you! :D
it's perfect on the 7th, falls right in between my bd and Cara's. And Lucy deserves her own special day!
happy, happy birthday L-dine! Lorene and Birdie forever!
Yay for Lorene and Birdie! Zaide may have to become cousin Elrene so she can join us.
okay NOT Elrene, Jamie has the dibs on that. Reenee or Nancy (I will have to get big red lips!!) would work.
Reenie! You have proven your Reenie-ness with the fairy cottage caper.
OOHHH!!! Totally Reenie!!!
