Happy Birthday To...

ME!

Yes, I'm another year older :o( Yuck! If I look back, I think I would like to be 24 again. Definitely one of my best years. I had just met DH and I was healthy and active. Sigh! So, instead of belly aching about how much my life has changed and how it's taken a completely different path than I envisioned, I'm going to post things that happened the year I was born. Much more interesting wouldn't you say? ;o)


In 1971 (the year you were born)

Richard Nixon is president of the US

Charles Manson and 3 of his followers are convicted of multiple counts of first-degree murder

An earthquake in California's San Fernando Valley kills 64 people

Walt Disney World opens

  11. A happy belated birthday: though I've thinking about it all the time, I missed Dday...
    Got your email btw. Thanks. I will email back soon.
    That song by Simon and Garfunkel was so beautiful... Though it happened many years later, it reminds me of my first boyfriend... I remember the song waaaay better than the boyfriend. Not a good sign for him... lol!
    Take care!
