Triple Witching Hour

Triple Witching Hour

This month is my triple witching hour- two birthdays and an Anniversary. If I forget what happens the first week of October, I am truly a dead man. Last week, we started off the celebrations with Teresa's 14th birthday. (Yes, 14- she's in High School now- yikes!) Mayumi's bday was
on Friday and our 17th anniversary was Saturday.

In the image above, the two characters are discussing birthdays in Japanese with a Brazilian accent. The picture below features the Beirne Ladies slurping Ramen in Kyoto, Japan this summer.

The three Kanji (or "Chinese Characters") in the bottom right are read "TanJoBi" or "Birthday." The four characters above "Happy birthday" and elsewhere on the page, are read "O-MeDeTo" and mean "Congratulations."
Taken together, "OTanjobi Omedeto " means happy birthday.
