I am so old the only thing happening the year I was born was dirt began to form, hence the expression 'older than dirt'
I had the same things as you....a great year! :)
I didn't know you were so young! My 1946 birthday put me in the Cher and Bill Clinton generation and the first year of the baby boomers. It's also the year the bikini was introduced, named after the place where the "maximum impact" atomic bomb was tested.
Hey, you forgot to mention that was the year I graduated high school. LOL
Have a wonderful weekend! :)
Oh, my... I'll have to check that out. Of course, I am sure mine will have some great highlights as well...ha!

There's only one thing that I know for sure happened the year I was born.
My mom had a baby girl.
You know, I'm going to pass on this quiz. I already feel old today. ;-)
Tom Hanks and I were born in the same year. So was Mel Gibson. I think I look younger than both of them.
Love ya.
