Actually, my birthday is this Sunday, but that’s Mother’s Day, and moms come first (literally). So Mitchday got bumped to Today. Here are some silly thoughts, because it’s good to laugh on your birthday (and every day, for that matter), plus a few wise observations (see quotes after pics). Yay me!

~Ovid
“There is still no cure for the common birthday.”
~John Glenn
“Birthdays could be such a bummer when you were older than the country you lived in.”

~George Burns
“I don’t mind getting older; it’s a privilege denied to so many!”

Happy birthday Mitch. Have a wonderful day filled with many blessings🎉🎂🎁
Happy Birthday, Mitch! 🎉🎈
Have a blessed one! (I might have to borrow one or two of these. Gotta huge BD coming up early next month.)
Happy Birthday for now and Sunday. Have two.
Happy (Almost) Birthday, Mitch! My brother in law’s actual birthday is today, but we are celebrating on Mother’s Day because none of us has a mother still with us (except as Angels, of course)…and we just like waiting at restaurants, so there’s that!
Enjoy!!!
Happy B-Day, Mitch. Have a wonderful weekend…and embrace the joy and wonder of entering into a new year.🎂🎈🎉
Birthday hugs and blessings, Mitch, and a happy mother’s day to your lovely wife.🙏
Happy Birthday !!!! The pinata (LOLOLOL) 🙂
Happy Birthday Mitch! Hugs, C
Happy Birthday. Best wishes for the year ahead.
Happy Birthday!
Hope it’s a good one!!
Happy Birthday to you Mitch, for Sunday. And just an fyi, moms don’t come first. Read that in Morgan Freeman’s voice. 🤣🤣🤣🎂🥳
Happy birthday!
Cheers to your health and happiness 🥂✨
My 30th was sad. A milestone, vibrant youth and no one close to share it with. Thank God for our multigenerational family of seven as I approach next year, my 80th.
Happy early birthday, fellow storyteller!
Happy birthday, Mitch. I know God has blessed you deeply.
He has indeed, Bob. Thanks!
Happy Birthday! Make it fabulous! 🙂
Happy early birthday! I know it was interesting whenever my grandma and my uncle shared a birthday with Mother’s Day since their birthdays come on May 5 and May 11, but both of them are dead now! I don’t have to worry about that since my birthday is at the end of August; the only problem that I had to deal with is school starting around my birthday, which wasn’t very nice! I mean literally whenever I was in college my first day of the fall semester was on my birthday!
Hope you have a wonderfuller day than your usual wonderful days…
Definitely not good to share a birthday with Mother’s Day 🙂 Enjoy your pre-birthday celebration, Mitch!
This was great, Mitch. Happy Birthday. I’m ten days behind you.
Then, happy birthday to you, John!
😊
Happy Birthday, young man! Enjoy!
Happy 🥳 Early Birthday . Happy Early Day of Celebrating another Year of Gods Blessings. Hope you have a Great Birthday.
Happy early birthday!
Happy Birthday Mitch may you have a blessed one 🎂🎈🎉
Love the Far Side. My sister gave me a whole book of it, and we lay on the living room floor reading them and giggling until the wee hours of the morning. 😀
The first meme with the golden retriever looking at the sunset over the mountains is a gorgeous image. Great quotes, too. Happy Birthday, Mitch! 🙂
Happy Birthday Mitch!
Happy birthday, both days, Mitch
Happy birthday. I hope you will have a great day.
Those truly are golden! Happy 2 days before your birthday!!

Happy birthday-weekend, Mitch! Love the “age gets better with wine” meme. Hope I can remember that one the next time wine is served!
;>) Thanks, dear friend!
Happy birthday in advance 🎉
Thank you, Tekuɔ.
Happy birthday! Not sure how old you are, but maybe move up the departure time for your guests to 8 PM so you can hit the hay by 8:30.
;>) Thanks, Rob.

A most happy birthday to a very entertaining, truth-bearing storyteller and all-around great guy who knows how to take the backseat on Mother’s Day 💕. Hope it’s a delightful weekend!
Oops… thought I was logged in. This is Kara Luker 🙂
Aww, thanks, Kara!
Happy Birthday!!!
Thanks, Luisa!

Thank you!

Thanks, Steve!
Happy Birthday, Mitch!
Thank you, Jonah!
Btw, I just visited your blogsite, Jonah, and read two very informative posts–much appreciated. Unfortunately, though, there’s no Comment box and your Like button isn’t loading.
Happy birthday, young man!
Thank you, JV!
Happy birthday! Very gracious of you to let the moms have tomorrow!
;>) Thanks, Ab!
OK, one of these is so Super Cute…and true! “I know your real age!” …’cuz you were 2 years ahead of me in H.S. Thus, you know mine as well. 😱 So there’s absolutely no win here, but it IS an adorable meme. So here’s my thought…you can choose any day you want for Mitchday simply becuase your thought-provoking posts cause us all to celebrate the gift of YOU everyday anyway! Have a GREAT, GOD BLESSED Mother’s Day with Trudy 💖 and, whenever you decide to cash it in, have a memorable, eat-all-the-cake-you-want Mitchday!! 🎈🥳🎈🎉🎈🎂🎈
Awww, thank you, Dori!!
Happy Birthday Mitch!
Thanks, Cora!
You are most welcome Mitch.
Happy Birthday! (tomorrow!)
Thanks (tomorrow ;>), Dora.
Happy Birthday and always remember you’re not getting older you’re getting better. That is what I remembered an old timer once telling me, We pick up and store so much information and learn so many things throughout life that as each birthday passes we just keep getting better at everything we know and do,
Amen. And thanks, Rasma!
Happy almost birthday, Mitch!
Thanks, Russell!
Happy Birthday a day early!! Thanks for the laugh. When I grew up, birthdays were a handy excuse to have a party, which was always fun. I still miss my Dad’s birthday cocktail parties.
Happy birthday Mitch! And yes, I did read that meme in Morgan Freeman’s voice . . .🤣🤣
Does having a mock birthday mean you get to eat cake twice? Hope it was (and is) a very merry birthday, Mitch!
;>)
Happy Birthday Mitch !
Thank you!
Lulu: “Happy sorta kinda Mother’s Day birthday!”
Thanks, Lulu!
Belated Happy Birthday, Mitch! Hope you were able to stay up after your guests left your party at 9 pm!
;>)
Sorry I missed it… but Happy Belated Birthday 😉 Trusting that you had a fantastic day!
I did, thank you, Meg!
Happy Belated Birthday my friend! “The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.
Aw, bless you, Claudia.
Happy Belated Birthday. So Sorry I Missed It. Hope You Had A Great Birthday
Thanks, WIllie.
You Are Very Welcome
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY <3
Thank you, Kristi!
A great selection. The sheep party always makes me laugh. It appears regularly on birthday cards. On my sixtieth birthday I got a letter to say I had been removed from the bone marrow donor register – past my sell by date!
;>)
Happy Birthday to a fellow Taurean! Mine is the 14th. Every few years it falls on Mother’s Day so I get an even more special celebration. I can laugh at your post but also it’s true!
;>)
Great blog! Thanks for sharing it. I hope your birthday was equally good! God bless you.
It was!
I’m a little late..well, a LOT late, but belated happy birthday!
Belated thanks, my friend!
