Click here to hear the Happy Birthday Disco.
Well, my oldest sister, Sandy, (a.k.a. "Old As Dirt" to her niece and nephews) reached another milestone today.
She's a palindrome. That's right. 44 years ago on this day, after an excessively long time in the "bathroom" (not much has changed, right?) getting ready for her big appearance, Sandra Lynne Wilson adorned the world with all her cherubic cuteness! (I'll post a photo once I get my scanner working again.)
Ah, the memories....
Let's see... Our favorite phrase growing up was "You're not my mother!" (Mothering must go with being the firstborn. But, in fairness, we "gave" as good as we got, really. Certainly, there could be studies done to prove that bossiness is, in fact, genetic. Still in all, we all "survived" one another with flying colors.) How about those Saturday morning water-wake-up calls that followed the blasting of guns played at top volume from the "Victory at Sea" record? And times when we were sent by Mom to spy on her -- and the "boyfriend-of-the-week" -- to be sure they were "behaving" themselves? And they were.
She always makes me proud!
My sister has been a fantastic wife to a wonderful man named Tim since April 4th 1987. She's the special teacher and "part-time mom" to 15 (or so) special ed students each year. She has an adorable cat named Thomas who is her pride and joy.
And, most importantly, she's a breast cancer survivor.
That makes her a gift and blessing to all of us! Happy HAPPY Birthday, Sis!
