HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
Yes, 38 already!
Well, this is my third birthday that I'll be celebrating on steemit. If you've seen my previous birthday posts, you may remember some of this, but for those who have not, I'll share a little bit form each before I get into the amazing artwork that I received today.
PAPA-PEPPER BIRTHDAY 2016
"If you were around then, what were you doing on December 8th, 1980? You see, this was the day that John Lennon, of The Beatles fame, was murdered. It was also the day that I was born... Interestingly enough, another musician died that same day, years later. For those who enjoy heavier music, you may have heard of a certain band called Pantera. The guitarist for Pantera, “Dimebag” Darrell also died on December 8th...Also, in 1997 Bob Bell, the first "BOZO the clown," died at age 75 on my 17th birthday."
Yeah, that excerpt above is from my first birthday post on steemit. It seems that I mentioned death a lot...
PAPA-PEPPER BIRTHDAY 2017
In my 2017 Birthday Announcement, I mentioned some of the artists that died on my birthday from the previous birthday post, and then added Marty Robbins, who recorded the song "El Paso" that I shared above. Also, I spent some time reflecting....
As you can tell from the photo above, by the time I turned 37, I had gotten really good at reflecting! Here is an excerpt of what I wrote last year.
"Here I am today, already 37 years old. Sometimes I may look or act younger, but that's the truth of the matter. It seems in many ways that I am just beginning my life, since we stand at the doorway of our entire new future on the homestead that we are building. However, I've already been married over a decade and a father for almost eight years now... read more here"
Also, I made the video above to give some people a taste of what a day might be like for me, and chose my birthday as the "sample day." Enjoy it if you want.
38th Birthday Art from the Family
Here is a sampling of the original artwork that I received on my home made birthday cards from the family today. As it turns out, they seem to know what I look like. Enjoy the pictures, and enjoy the rest of my birthday too! Feel free to celebrate!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

I just can't believe you're 38, what?! 😱. You look so young like the guy next to door.
Happy Birthday to you, and am joining the host of angels in heaven to wish you long life and prosperity.
I really like your thought provoking view of the Bible.

Thank you so much, the @little-peppers also made me a cheesecake and I bought Ice Cream!

My handsome husband loves cheesecake, which kind did you have, chocolate, strawberry, plain? I bet it was yummy and ice cream to go with it too, that's nice. :D That sounds like a great way to spend part of your birthday and enjoy it with your family. :D
