Happy Birthday to Me...

Friday is my birthday. I have one every year. (I am selfish like that!)

And did you know that birthdays are the leading cause of aging? The more birthdays you have, the older you get! Stop have birthdays and the age problem takes care of itself! (But I like having birthdays, so I guess I will deal with the aging part...) ;)

Here is a photo taken not long after I was born. I think I have such cute parents! Dad is hunched over a bit...there is an 18 inch height difference between my Dad and Mom.



My husband and I were both born in 1971. I am about 6 weeks older than Rick, but it might as well be 6 years for all I hear about it! ;) With that in mind, I thought I would share a few fun facts from 1971.

A loaf of bread cost $.25, a gallon of gas was $.40 and a gallon of milk was only $1.17!

A new car was $3,560 and a new house was $25,200.

Average income was $10,622.

The president was Richard Nixon.

Evel Knievel sets a world record and jumps 19 cars. (Used to love playing with Chris and Tony's Evel Knievel toys!)

And with birthday cake coming up, I thought I would show you the cake masterpieces my cute cousin Tony (He still has hair!) and I created with my Easy Bake Oven many years ago...



Have a great day!!
