Boo!

The one on the right was on the left

And the one in the middle was on the right

And the one on the left was in the middle

And the guy in the rear*

Was Annie. 

But this post is about the one on the right who is, more accurately, just a little left of center.  It's about her because today's her birthday.  Abby Jane "Boo" Gedicks McIntier.  It might interest you to note that the nickname Boo didn't come from Halloween.  On the contrary, my dear reader(s?), Boo actually derives from Boo Boo Bear, good buddy of Yogi Bear.  The one in the middle, who is really on the left, called her Boo Boo bear when she was a toddler wearing her fuzzy pajama sleeper because she looked like a cuddly little bear padding around the house.

Speaking of bears, the one in the middle, who is actually on the left, grew his beard on the Appalachian Trail, which is home to many bears.  But not to the bear on the right, who is more accurately just a tad left of center. 

The one on the left, who is not part of this story, has never been on the Appalachian Trail.  The one in the rear has. 

Happy birthday, to you Boo Boo Bear.  And many, many more.

Love,

Mom
