Today's the 21st.  I'm 76!  Can't believe it. I don't look anything like I thought I would. Was thinking I'd look like my grandmother.  Grandmother aged women are so....not looking like their grandma's.  Thank goodness. She was sweet as could be though.  Always had cookies for the grandkids.


@qualitygal - Oct. 21st is my birthday too!!  I'm 71.  Happy mutual Birthday!

 

I agree about grandmother aged women today do not look like the grandmothrs from our childhood.  Both my Italian grandmothers looked the same - hair in a bun, lace up shoes and housedresses.  I loved them both, but there is such a difference.

 

Enjoy the day!!

My favorite of the bunch is Tom Petty. He would have turned 73 today.


@threecees  Agree.

 

In May 2023 he was awarded in memory an Honorary Doctorate  from the U of Florida School of Music in Gainesville Florida, his hometown.

 

His family donated $100,000 to start  The Tom Petty Endowment for Guitars & Innovation. 

 

One of the best 👍 and one of the hardest to hear about when he died.😢
