Today’s Lydia’s 3rd birthday! Yet I have pictures from 2005. The best-laid plans…
Friend TFox says:
She’s a tall drink of water, as my mom would have said. You’ll have to start screening boyfriends before you know it! 🙂
What about a link to other famous folks born on her B-Day?
OK, here it is Who do we find?
Poets, such as A. E. Housman (1859) and Robert Frost (1874)
Other writers such as Joseph Campbell (1904), Tennessee Williams (1911), Erica Jong, (1942), and Bob Woodward (1943)
Musical folks such as Rufus Thomas (1917), Diana Ross (1944), Steven Tyler of Aerosmith (1948), and Teddy Pendergrass (1950)
Performers such as Strother Martin (1919), Bob Elliott of Bob & Ray (1923), Leonard Nimoy (1931), Alan Arkin (1934), James Caan (1940), Vicki Lawrence (1949), Martin Short and Ernest Thomas (both 1950, same as Teddy Pendergrass), Jennifer Gray (1960), and T.R. Knight of Grey’s Anatomy (1973)
Athletes such as Marcus Allen, football (1960, same as Jennifer Gray) and John Stockton, basketball (1962)
But I was most interested to note that her birthday coincided with women of note:
Sandra Day O’Connor, former U.S. Supreme Court Justice (1930)
Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House (1940, exactly the same age as James Caan!)
Elaine Chao, U.S. Secretary of Labor (1953)
So, what does she want to do when she gets older? I’ll be fascinated to find out.
