March Babies

I know a slew of them! My own Birthday is Monday, 3/7. Here’s a photo of my sweet sixteen at the Luau in Beverly Hills, 1963.

Morey, my adopted father was March 1st. Born in 1916 he would be 95 now. Grandpa Si, my father-in-law from my first marriage is today, March 4. We had an interesting symbiosis, both being children who worked and had domineering mothers. My junior high school friend, Janis is March 13. I am one week older than her. Liliana, my niece is turning 9 this month as well as my husband’s granddaughter Aurora. My friend Jerry Naylor will be 72 this Sunday. Tricia and my great friend Roz, her mom, are also celebrating their b-days this month. I know a few others who were a part of my life. Margareta on the 15th. She’s in Sweden. Ry Cooder on the same day. Even Mo at the end of the month and Charlene, too. I’m sure there are more whom I just don’t know- wait- I remember now, my new friend Sheryl on the 19th!

The Ides of March (15) symbolize the Lion of winter retreating and the Lamb of spring coming forth. With the climate of change traversing our planet please take time to watch the new leaves on a Tree. Wink at the new faces on flowers unfolding. Give thanks to your loved ones and try and recognize your angels.

Below is a photo of a birthday dress that survived these many decades. I wore it on my 15th b-day. Somehow, I haven’t found a photo of me wearing it yet. Morey usually photographed me  while I was working, so I’ll just keep looking. Maybe I wore it on another occasion. I’m really glad he made an exception with the ‘Luau” photo- thanks dad!!!

    You need to watch over your heart Donna!
    Did you marry for the money?
    Take a lover in the afternoon.
    I think you got to slow down,
    before you start to blow it.
    I think your headed for a breakdown!!

    Happy Birthday Donna !!!
