Sept 9th was Catherine’s b.d. and today, Sept. 11th is our 70th wedding anniversary. No plans for celebration until after the 15th with Robyn meeting the BIG deadline for filing 1040’s, etc. Love to all of you. IMO

I had forgotten that Catherine and Bev shared a birthday (even though I know that I knew that…..). It was supposed to be Sarah’s (daughter #3) birthday, as well, but as usual, she had her own ideas about that….. 😛
Happy anniversary! Hard to believe that you and Johnny are old enough to have been married 70 years already – aren’t both of you still 29?
