Description from Helen G aka tea chick: my Dad, Paul Turner, was born 70 years ago today in Lancashire, England, to Alice and Edwin Turner (their first child). He shares a birthday with my daughter Amanda Dorothy Alice, his youngest grandchild. His nickname has always been owl, probably 'cause he's a pretty smart dude

Southern Chick says:Happy birthday “Owl”…love that nickname! How are you doing Helen? I think I owe you a message. I’m not sure I answered your last one. How was your trip to Spain? Did I get the right country? Talk soon,
Donna

Helen G aka tea chick says:Hi Donna! I wasn’t planning on going to Spain (someone else perhaps?) We tried to make a big road trip this summer to visit relatives along the East Coast (US), but hubby came down with appendicitis in Indiana and needed emergency surgery, so after that we cancelled the trip and came home. The girls and I are flying to Vermont in 2 weeks to visit my Mum during the kids’ fall break, then we’re all driving to Virginia over Christmas to see in-laws.

Helen G aka tea chick says:Thanks for all the kind comments and birthday wishes, ladies. My dad’s other nickname (self-given) is “Old Fart” but that doesn’t translate to beads too well
