Woke this morning with a smile on my face, and remembering Bill and all the Talk-Like-A-Pirate Days we enjoyed together...one of our favorite holidays. From the first "...there be coffee, wench?" to the last "Arrrrr..." of the night...we both loved it. Through-out the day e-mailing a running piratical commmentary about our day, co-workers, or interaction with friends.
"Hogging the copier? I suggest you run him through! Arrrrr..."
"Avast ye scurvy dog...I'll be pillaging the bank at noon, then!"
TLAPD began in 1995...but really didn't take off until Dave Barry did a column about it in 2002.
Needless to say, we celebrated every one thereafter.
Today not only am I celebrating...but also may be the honorary great-grandma of a Little Pirate of my own- if he arrives before Midnight.
Brittany (Amelia Rose's Mom...and Nicole's adopted/honorary daughter) is at 40 weeks and is being induced today.
It is a Land Before Time Moment:
"Come OUT. You are LATE!
It will be so cool if Brantley makes it in time for Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Amelia Rose...my honorary Great Grand-Daughter, and Brittany.
More anon...
Update from Nicole: As of 6:30 this morning...STILL no Brantley. So he won't be a pirate...but will be here today (9-20)
Cant wait!!!
He has arrived! Brantley Ryan...
