Elizabeth G: Hippo Birdie Two Ewe!

Translation (from an old birthday card I found in my keepsake box): Happy Birthday to You!

Did you know that more people are born in August than in any other month of the year? (Including me.)

A few of the famous August-born include:

~singer Tony Bennett

~ NFL New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady

~ first man to walk on the moon Neil Armstrong

~ poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson

~ artist Andy Warhol

~ spy/dancer Mata Hari

~ actor Antonio Banderas

~ movie director Alfred Hitchcock

~ bestselling novelist Danielle Steel

~ singer Madonna

~ King Louis XVI

~ Mother Teresa

~ tennis star Pete Sampras

And last on my list, but far from least: actor Sean Connery

REMINDER: Don't forget we have a "Dog Days of Summer" contest ongoing here at RWQ for a prize package of books and assorted goodies described by Lori Foster in her blog of 7/31/08. On August 29th the lucky winner will be drawn from among those who have posted comments during the past month.

So, do you have an August birthday? Whenever your birthday, how did you celebrate your Big Day this year?
