Yesterday was my grandmother's 88th Birthday....
We celebrated with a lunch at Olive Garden.
Wow!

Think about that....
In 1922, when Grandma was born, a gallon of gasoline was $.25
a loaf of bread was $.15
average family income was around $2,500 for a middle class family

the average cost of a home was $7,197.00

..and look at the type of car they drove...
It's amazing to think about how drastic things have changed since my grandmother was born. She's seen a lot in her 88 years, and I always enjoy hearing her stories about years past.
The world really gained something special on March 6, 1922 when she was born!!!
Happy Birthday Bo!!!!!
