Happy Birthday 1957

There are a lot of celebrities who turn 50 this year. I have heard of many of them, but some I haven't. It's fun to see who is the same age as I am.

Apparently 1957 was the biggest year for baby boomers, with 4,308,000 babies born. There are a lot of statistics on the boomers, some of which I agree with.

But no matter who was born that year, or what facts and data can be compiled, it's the memories that mean the most. For me, these memories include getting our first color television, having one telephone (complete with party line) in the house, not being allowed to wear pants to school, and getting into the movies for fifty cents. Yeah, you just think those are old people stories, until you start telling them yourself!!

So what's the moral of this post? There isn't one. Just something to read, and to jog your brain for your own fun memories. Because whether you get on the celebrity list for your birth year or not, those experiences in your life are what truly make your life special.
