From Moyna: October 11th - Today is Fred's birthday!! He's 57 - on the downside of the 50's and pushing the BIG 60!! It seems strange to say that I have a husband that is almost 60...We were talking the other night about our ages - I just turned 55 - and remarked how we still think of ourselves as being in our 30's. Unfortunately, our bodies remind us that we are a "little" older! Fred handles his age well, though, since he passed the age of 55 - that was the hard birthday to make it through. His father passed away at 55, so it brought up memories of that. Fred, though, has made it past that age, so now he just rejoices for each day that he wakes up!! Anyway, we don't have any special plans for celebrating his birthday, just a nice dinner. HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRED!!!!!!!
October, in general, isn't one of my favorite months. It's one of those months that everybody & their brother has a birthday...just a couple of months before Christmas...not a good time. I don't know off the top of my head how many friends have a birthday this month (I just know it's a lot!!), but Fred & Freddy have their birthdays (Freddy's is the 18th - and it will be his BIG 25) and Fred & I will celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary on the 13th - a Friday this year...!! How we managed 26 years together, only God knows!!!!!!!!
Fred has wanted me to make a comment on the family blog, so I hope he enjoys my ramblings/thoughts about his birthday!!!
