July 25, 1936, 70 years ago, my Mom was pear shaped. Don't know what time I arrived in this world. I only know my Mother and Father brought me into this world. Thanks Mom and Dad. I was born in the house on Lincoln Ave. in Collingswood, NJ. It has been a wonderful 70 years. My childhood was great. Had a wonderful family. Loved my Mom and Dad dearly. Also, my Sister, who has departed this earth, much to early and a Brother who I love and keep in close contact with. Teenage years were great. Had alot of friends and went to alot of dances. Then Al came along, my darling husband. He spoils me. Would give me the Sun and Moon if he could, and, he tries. We adopted our wonderful boys. We miss them. We have two Grandsons who we regret not having seen grow up. Have alot of great nieces and nephews, especially Mark, who is like a son. Love living in Florida, just to far from the family. Other favorite places, Ocean City, NJ and Interlaken, Switz. Which, we go to as often as money will allow. Very lucky. I am in good health. My Dad died early and Mom lived into her 80's. I'm hoping I have another 10 years of good health and are still able to travel and golf. I have told my children, I have lived a wonderful life, especially with their Dad.
