G’day! Byron the Quokka here.
Well, the prizes for the last two contests have been mailed out today, to Dave and Ina, and now I’m supposed to bend my efforts to collecting birthdays so we can post readers’ birthday greetings throughout the year. So far we’ve only got 11–must be a lot of shy humans out there.
On Rottnest Island, we love birthdays, just can’t get enough of ’em. In a good week, there’ll be a party every day. We keep our party hats handy!
Right after Thanksgiving it’ll be my job to get our Second Annual Christmas Carol Contest rolling–and maybe another comment contest, if there’s enough excitement here to generate one.
What’s that? I’m supposed to generate excitement?
Off goes the party hat, on goes the thinking cap…
You will manage just fine, Byron, you cutie. Can’t wait to see what you will come up with next.
If I could have Byron at my Seventy-second birthday that would be a dream come true. I guess I will have to fly to Australia on December 19th for it to happen, but I have always wanted to visit the Land Down Under.
You were almost a Christmas baby.
I’ll tell Byron to save a place at the Clue table for you, in case you can make it.
Just thought I would suggest a hymn for tomorrow if you wish to post.
Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross. The Smucker Family has a nice version.
I’ve just loaded it up for tomorrow morning.
