In 1770 - Beethoven was born.
In 1773 - This was the day of the Boston Tea Party.
In 1775 - Jane Austen was born (I LOVE this one!!)
In 1901 - Margaret Mead, the American anthropologist who authored 44 books and over 1000 articles, was born.In 1944 - The Battle of the Bulge during World War II began as German forces launched a surprise counterattack against Allied forces in Belgium.
In 1950 - President Truman proclaimed a national state of emergency in order to fight "Communist imperialism."
AND in 1970 - I was born!!!! (Sorry, I really set you up for that one, didn't I?!?!)Have to brag on my boys - now you must know they are almost 11, 12, and 13 - hitting those ages when some things just aren't so cool AND YET, after Joe left for work, they quietly made scrambled eggs, bacon and toast, put them all on a tray, and crept into my room to surprise me! My first Breakfast-in-Bed!! (They did apologize for no coffee!! :) That made me chuckle!)
Chloe sat on my lap as I ate my breakfast - sharing nibbles of scrambled eggs with me and then told me, "You should wear a dress today- birthdays are for dresses," she said. So as I lounged with my young'uns, I was late for work, but no one cared!!!
Why can't everyday be a birthday!?!??!
Oh yes - AND it's snowing!!! I'm thinking that's a fun gift too!

Happy Birthday, kiddo!! Maybe now I can remember that you are 10 yrs younger than me. So, always remember it is good to have older friends--it makes you feel young ;)
Hugs from uppa Nort.
Wow, great people were born on your birthday. Happy Birthday!
Your boys have lovely hearts, I'm sure.
Happy, B-Day. I love the Jane Austen thing! I am jealous of that!

Just warmed my heart reading the boys brought you breakfast in bed.That is sooo neat.MY guess would be do not get to used to it cuz I don't think Joe will be that nice.Maybe try reminding him on how hard you worked packing "ALL "those bags of candy.
Hope you're enjoying you special day.And the snow too!!!!
