It is also forever etched into my memory when Mother walked out of the hallway in her white robe -carrying our NEW baby brother. Of course I was so proud - just ask my teacher! My school records show that he's all I could talk about for some time.
Let's see now, what did we call him ? There was:
Jaybird
Jacob
Jacobrino (or some derivation)
JGP
and
JAY. I have to refrain from calling him any of those "other" names these days.
He was always hangin' around, this tow-headed, bronze skinned little runt of a kid, with those big brown eyes and a smile that could melt a pat of butter from ten paces.
Then Rambo hit the silver screen.
Oh, good grief, is he wearin' those camo pants AGAIN; and that bandana. Does he ever take them off? When will he ever learn he AIN'T Rambo! Oh well, we all have our "phases" we go through.
Well, today - he's all "growduh up" and has been for some time. Nowadays, there are four little ones running around underfoot. All four have eyes that will melt your heart and smiles that brighten any room.
So when you don't have a pic, what does one do? Hmmm, lemme see now......I think I'll .......borrow one!
Here is one of him and his beautiful Queen just two years ago when he turned the BIG 40!!
Yup, he's my baby brother, he's a keeper. I might share him with you if you're nice. There's a story of kid I "laid out on the ground" one time for throwin a rock and hitting him. You can play with him or be his friend but just remember - BIG BROTHER is watchin!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY - JAYBIRD!!!! I LOVE YOU.
