My west coast brother, who retired yesterday after 50 years engineering work in the television industry, informed me that today is "Dinosaurs Day." I think he might have taken it personally but I assured him that you're only as old as you feel, which means, at our age, that your "feels like age" can vary wildly from day to day.
He then informed me that today is also "National Sunflower Day." This created an image in my mind of dinosaurs dancing in a field of sunflowers. They were, after all, much too large to dance among the daisies.
As it happens today is also our youngest granddaughter's birthday. She is eight years old today. As it also happens, she is quite a good artist and loves to draw dinosaurs. We have one of her pictures hanging on our refrigerator.
We will be visiting with her and her family next week and I think that I will ask her to draw a picture for me of dinosaurs dancing in a field of sunflowers. If she does, I will post a picture of it on that day's blog.
Meanwhile my brother will be enjoying the carrot cake with maple cream cheese frosting that his wife made for him today. He's beginning to really appreciate the benefits of retirement.
