Okay, everyone can rest a little easier...especially me...the snake has resurfaced. I had pretty much resolved that this was going to be a Shiflet legacy as I distinctly remember Grandmommie telling me the story of David's snake's mysterious disappearance that remained a mystery. I suppose this is why I was not as shocked as I should have been when the snake went missing.
Poor Daddy...it is his 36th birthday and his first big surprise of the day was that he found the missing snake stretched out on the floor next to his desk in his home office. Having not even had the chance to take a sip of his morning coffee he was confronted with a tiny wiggling stick that reared its head up ready to grab its unsuspecting breakfast bug. All I know is I am so glad it wasn't me as I am sure everyone for 3 counties would have known we found the snake had it been me before my coffee. Daddy on the other hand just picked him up and put him back in his tank and gave J.Michael the good news.
Now our still nameless snake is safely back in his secured tank...slightly more secured. I keep threatening to call him Houdini if no name arises soon.
Thirty-six years ago today J. and Kathy Shiflet became first time parents of a little boy who would grow up to be the man I married and love more with each passing year. I am so thankful for J. and Kathy and I celebrate this special day with you.
Daddy(David) was serenaded by his wife and four arrows over the phone with a special solo added by arrow #4(Kathlena). Thankfully, we did not get Daddy on our first try so he has it recorded on his phone to retrieve and listen as often as he likes. We did however catch him on our second try and sang again for him live. For his birthday he requested his favorite homemade cheesecake and a quiet evening at home for dinner. Well, we can make sure he has the cheesecake but, quiet left us almost 14yrs ago. :) I love you honey! Hope your day was special.
