Born in Chicago



1941 was the year I was born. Sargent York was the top movie that year. The computer and velcro were invented. And this song describes the chaos going on in the streets of my home town.

What happened in the year you were born? Click on this link. Type in your birth date and see what was going on when you happened upon the world. It's fascinating. It's a kick.

Have a wonderful weekend. I'm taking my granddaughter to lunch and shopping for her birthday. A first for the two of us. You can see more of her on her blog Until The Cows Come Home.

  2. Thanks. Isn't that a great picture of her. She's quite the looker. Now I'm hoping she'll be quite the student and NOT FOLLOW IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HER GRANDMOTHER. These next years in her life are so important.
