Today, I'm sharing a birthday with (among others) some well known and some infamous folks:
Amal Alamuddin Clooney, Fran Tarkenton, Nathan Lane, Samuel Butler, Melanie, Blythe Danner, Shelley Berman, Joey Bishop, Norman Rockwell, Felix Mendelssohn, Horace Greeley, Gertrude Stein, James Michener, Henning Mankell, Pretty Boy Floyd.
All of us have been born under the sign of Aquarius (January 19 - February 18) the water bearer. It was nice that in 1969, the 5th Dimension sang The Age of Aquarius. (The song Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine In is a medley of two songs written for the 1967 musical Hair.)
Checking online for personality traits of Aquarians, I read that we have active minds and can spend hours thinking about new and interesting ways to approach life. So, maybe that explains my daydreaming times?
I also read that Aquarians are nature lovers, friendly, outgoing and have a sense of fairness which causes them to treat others with integrity. All good things.
On the negative side, Aquarians need to guard against self-indulgence of any kind. Soglad that the Oreo cookies are long gone, but we still have some holiday M&Ms around.
That cake shown in this post was bought to share with our dominoes playing friends this week. (There was no letter; it was added for purposes of this post.) A few more pieces were shared with friends here at the apartments. But, two pieces were saved to enjoy after dinner on Saturday evening. After all, what's a birthday without cake, but NO candles as I don't want to set off any alarms !

Whoops.... Two bloggers with a birthday today had me confused so I was forced to delete my comment ... lol.
Happy Birthday to you and I hope you have a great day. My mother was born on 2nd Feb; she didn't match up to the description of Aquarians, but one of my aunts matched it perfectly. I loved The Age of Aquarius.
Well, Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
The cake looks delicious, and Aquarius song is immortal!
Happy Birthday!
Mendelssohn's a good one to share a birthday with!

Happy birthday my dear friend!

Happy birthday! I'm thinking Leos must have a bigger self-indulgence problem because there is no way that any holiday candy was able to survive in my house this long.
Happy Birthday!
And many more!
A very happy birthday to you dear friend!
Happy Birthday, Dorothy - a little late. My birthday was the 4th. So we are fellow Aquarians.
The cake looks yummy. I hope you enjoyed it.
