45 Years Ago Today – Jan 14

 45 years ago today…


Sonny & Cher released, “Beat Goes On”

The price of a gallon of gas was .33 cents

20,000 attended Human Be-In in San Francisco

According to my husband, this was the year
for the coolest car in history.
{1967 Mustang Fastback}

Lyndon B. Johnson was President

The cost of a first-class stamp was $.05 cents

…..and I was born!  

   

Wow – taking a mug shot was harder
than I thought it would be.
If I look confused about which direction
to look in the photos – it’s because I was!
I didn’t have my glasses on and
couldn’t see where I was looking.
The joys of aging.

To celebrate, I bought myself a gift!
Ever since I hosted the Ambivalent Relics giveaway,
I’ve wanted the Dual Time Pocket Watch Necklace.


{By the way, YOU can still get a 30% discount

Sale was 35 Antiqued Dual Time Pocket Watch Necklace

Happy Birthday to me!
