A Songdog's World of Random Thoughts - The rest of the birthday story: "27th-Mar-2006 07:25 pm
The meatloaf was stellar. Mom made two meatloaves, actually. (Meatloafs? No, that would be a certain 70s rock singer and his doppelgänger.) One was 'plain' and one was Mexican—it contained red and green peppers and some other seasoning. The cake was good, but I will have very pleasant fantasies about the ice cream, which was Stroh's brand Sanders Bumpy Cake: vanilla ice cream with bits of frosting from their locally famous chocolate butter cream frosting cake. I may have to go visit my mom this week. Frequently.
(Yes, the beer Stroh's. Stroh's Ice Cream was founded by the Stroh's brewery founders in 1919 to tide the company over during Prohibition. [link])"
Beer lovers, take note. In Michigan you can celebrate your birthday eating cake with Stroh's ice cream in it. Yes, THAT Stroh's. Beer, baby. And ice cream? Huh.
Go there. He's got links.

Lebanon Daily News - Local News: "Homeless animals benefit from girl’s birthday party

A typical 10-year-old might ask for a bike or a Barbie doll for her birthday.
Caridad Dieppa isn’t typical.
When Caridad invited friends to her birthday party Saturday at the YMCA’S pool at the Lebanon VA Medical Center, she asked that they bring her something extra special.
“This year I asked everybody to get dog food and cat food for animals at the Humane Society (of Lebanon County),” Caridad said while taking a brief break from her party.
Caridad is an animal lover; she has been as long as she can remember.
“I have a little dog,” she said. “His name is Pancho, and he’s 4 years old.”
Caridad said that she loves to watch Animal Planet with her mom, Gissett, at their Lebanon home. It was while they were checking out their favorite channel that Caridad came up with her grand birthday idea."
Here's a girl with imagination and follow-through--and she's 10! She already knows she wants to be a veterinarian.
Give her a few more birthdays and she'll be a major force to reckon with. You go, girl!
