Yes, I said "our" birthday. It is the night before jean and joan's birthday. November 14th is a great birthday. I love that we were born in the 60s. That we didn't have computers or cell phones in college and wore bell bottoms in kindergarten. I am amazed that we were born in a very different time--simpler times--Of farming, home made quilts and pies, and church on Sunday.
I can still pass some of that down to them--i make mom's homemade caramels and take them to visit the farm, see the turkeys, run in the corn fields and raise them to know that we have a responsibility to care for the earth and one another and that everyone should be treated equally.
They are already living in a world of YouTube, blogs, facebooks, blackberries and no kid goes to college without a computer. I am happy that my children's first president is a Black president (I don't count GWB) and that finally people are beginning to be outraged at discrimination against gays. I'm happy that the women's movement brought us to a place where we can make a difference and they'll respect their wives for who they are...some day.
Joan's in Nashville and I'm in L.A. but we're celebrating anyway. i don't need any gifts because a twin is the best gift of all. (although a girl should never turn down diamond earrings if they should happen to come her way.)
