Alias is Over

No more ALIAS until September. No one who reads this is really a fan, except my dear friends in Scotland, but they're 2 seasons behind, so I'm all alone! Tonight was the season finale...it ended only moments ago. It had a satisfying conclusion, on some levels...certainly not the cliff hanger of first season when beloved Vaughn was trapped behind the door with the rising water! However, there was a troubling twist at the very end, but it's one that I can comfortably live with until September.

My almost grandparents, Don and Ginnie, have just celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary. Isn't that remarkable?! They also recently celebrated the date of their first date, which was 68 years ago. I feel very blessed to have known the Lambs, and to be their adopted granddaughter (as they have no grandchildren of their own!). Anyway, I thought their marriage was quite the noteworthy thing to be mentioned here on my infamous blog!

In other news: tomorrow is a national holiday of sorts, at least in the Mix Household. It's Bob Dylan's 63rd birthday! There might even be some cake involved. Dylan has left an indelible mark on the Mix girls' lives, and "his musical legacy cannot be overstated" (I once saw that on a website). As Adam Duritz so brilliantly said, "I wanna be Bob Dylan." I don't necessarily want to BE Bob Dylan, but I wouldn't mind being able to write a song as poignant as one of his. I also wouldn't mind being able to play the guitar AND harmonica simultaneously like Dylan (I've never been one to multi-task).

So, Happy Birthday, Bob!

May God bless and keep you always,
May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
