My mother was born on Oct 17 as well. Quite a nice birthday present to have her first grandchild born on her birthday. Richard turned out to be the only grandchild she had.
Goodness, you are turning 44 this year! I hope you're still enjoying the icing on the cake:)
It's funny to think I've been blogging for so long. You got me going on it and I haven't stopped.
Love,
Mom and Dad
