  • Peace, Cool, Righteous, Yea Man
  • A new language with Smokey and the Bear
  • The Tammy movies
  • Elvis will always rule
  • Space flight
  • Vietnam was the first war we remember, other than the constant fear of the cold war
  • bomb shelters, videos on the possibility of a nuclear attack

This is fun! I already get your newsletter, I'm a follower but can't tell if I just became one or if I was already was one lol.

Gift-Away #4..I'm loving my Tim Holtz Party Theme tonight! Do you think he knows he's a theme of a Birthday Party? Too funny. We are going to kick this party into full swing. Leave a comment about "who was president when you were born" and I'll draw a winner sometime in the next several hours or when I wake up in the night, which ever comes first. LOL I will say this we have not hit the grand finale. So this may run into tomorrow morning! Very cool. Remember to bring a few friends with you to the party. Parties are always more fun with friends.

  9. the president when I was born was Lyndon B Johnson, but since I was born at the end of the year Richard M. Nixon was just elected at the next president. That makes me feel old even though I am only 26 (or at least that is how old I feel) :)

  20. Debby, you are just a year and a few days younger than me so the president when I was born was DDE! Loving your celebration, sending out FB invitations, having a great time viewing all your birthday photos! Thanks a bunch!
    FYI, I hope you love the big 50 year as much as I did! It was a blast and blessing to experience.
