Romance Writers Weekly ~ It’s My Birthday plus 9-11 Remembered
I’m singing myself a little song today. 😀 Yes, it’s the birthday song! The other night we went out with some friends to a piano bar and my husband paid them to sing happy birthday to me. However, first they called me on stage and embarrassed me with the “Little Teapot” song and dance. How many of you did that one when you were little? It was hilarious.
.
Anyway, I’m the culprit this week. I said, It’s my birthday. Yes, I know…it got messed up, but it’s still my birthday. I’m sure thousands of people were born on D-day and Pearl Harbor day. SO, either tell me where you were on 9-11 or tell me what you do to celebrate your birthday… Hey, if you feel frisky, tell us both.

Since I already told you about my “little teapot” experience. I’ll tell you about that terrible day. I was quite happy as it was my birthday. I strolled into work about 8:30 and several of my colleagues were gathered around one of the computers watching the horror. A few minutes later, my husband called to tell me both towers had collapsed. It was the worst day and changed our world forever. It also brought Americans closer for a while. Sigh, if only we could come together without tragedy.
