Mickey Mouse is 81 years old !


His ‘birthday’ was Nov 18, 1928 although one ‘comment’ on the page with the article telling about his birthday said it was really May 15, 1928.

However, the writer of the article says that Disney prefers to used the Nov. date.

Oh, well, whichever. But, regardless, it is still amazing.

I remember having a Mickey Mouse stuffed toy ages ago.... probably it is still around here somewhere though tattered and ragged for sure and not in any ‘shape’ to be a collector’s item but it was a ‘favorite toy’.

Ah, memories!

And speaking of memories, Mickey Mouse doesn’t hold a candle to a fine lady with whom we had Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. She is 90 years old! Wow! -- And still alert, energetic, and fun. It was a joy to chat and visit with her! Mickey will need to go some to catch up with her.

Anyway, to read the article about Mickey Mouse (sorry there is no article except this blog entry re my 90 year old friend), HERE’S THE LINK
