Happy Birthday to Me and my Twin!

Hi all -- this is a bit of a late birthday post as my (our) birthday was in July!! But since we celebrated together, I wanted to be sure and post about it!

My twin, Judy, was born about 10 minutes before me - so she is the oldest! That used to bother me, but no more -- I'm always younger than her!! :) For every single birthday, our birthday cake had her name first since she was oldest! Fair???? I thought I should get first billing once in a while!! ;) We had a fun birthday and a marble cake! Growing up, there was a bakery not too far from our house that had marble cakes - and they were super yummy! The one we had was too and I love me a lot of frosting! We went out to lunch with Maddie and Judy's daughter-in-law and grandson. It was a fun lunch together and the cake was soooo good!

Happy TWOsday on 2/22/22!

Had to put a post up on this TWOsday - 2/22/22 day! For the weather update - we hit 65 degrees the other day -- it was such a wonderful preview of spring! This morning, it's 9 degrees and some snow on the ground! UGH! WE want the warm weather back ASAP! On that warm day, I took a long walk and there was an old guy driving his tractor around the neighborhood!!!! Guess he's ready for spring and getting out to the farm too. BRING IT ON!!

In other TWOsday news, I saw this most adorable doodle on the page of the breeders where we found our Frannie Doodle. So cute and named after my sister Amy! I sent it to her and suggested she contact them immediately. She wanted to, but Iowa is pretty far from Florida and she already has two dogs. I truly think that dog was meant for her though!

My cousin sent me this old photo -- I know it's hard to see. There's my dad, one of my brothers, my Mom and me and my twin - dressed alike! So cute and such short bangs! I look a little afraid there clinging to Judy's arm! Time sure does fly by. It just makes my heart happy to see my Mom and Dad in this photo! :)

Happy TWOsday Friends!

Another Twin Blast from the Past!

My twin found this news clipping a few months ago and posted it on FB

so I thought you all might enjoy it too!

I know I loved seeing us so young and in the school stairway.

How many times did we go up and down those stairs from 

kindergarten through 8th grade? A lot!

Look at how many sets of twins there were that

year at St. Cecilia's.

Can you find me and Judy?

I remember how much I loved that dress -

it was pink and white!

I just noticed my name was listed first - probably alphabetical!

Otherwise, since Judy was born first, 

we were always referred to as Judy and Janet.

Every single year, the birthday cake said . . . 

HB Judy and Janet!  :)
