Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

Today is Dr. Seuss' birthday.  I wanted to take a moment and celebrate this wonderful author.  His books If I Ran the Zoo, Horton Hears a Who!,"The Cat in the Hat", How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Green Eggs and Ham and many more were childhood favorites.  I loved reading and still have the copies that I enjoyed so much as a child and really enjoyed sharing with my children.

My father had a Dr. Seuss painting above his fireplace called the Golden Girl, so Dr. Seuss has had a profound presence in my family too.  When Russell quoted the Sleep Book from memory once during our dating days, I was hooked!  A man who could recite Dr. Seuss had to be the one for me!

From "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"  "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..." 

Blessings, C.
