Today was my daughter Eleanor’s 9th birthday. We’ll be celebrating with a couple of her friends this coming weekend, so today we just had a laid back family day. Eleanor wanted to go to the mall so she could spend some of her birthday money, so we did that, then we went out for dinner at one of her favorite places.

I had Eleanor’s #71 Nifebrite Bull Nose in my pocket — it’s the knife I carry every year on her birthday, going back to the day she was born. I also had my Mike Moran straight jack with me.

Every year I take a picture of Eleanor holding her knife and post it here, along with all the previous years’ pics. I do fear what may come of this tradition once we get to the teenage years, but for now, at least, she’s still a willing participant. 😁

Here’s Eleanor’s first knife pic at one day old.

And here’s her pic from today, her 9th birthday. (She discovered earlier this year, on one of her friend’s birthdays, that for a small fee the local Dairy Queen will put a birthday message on their sign. She’s been taking about it for months, so we couldn’t not do it.) 🙄🤣
