ReplyDeleteEmma, I was under the impression that you and I are about the same age, you perhaps slightly older. If that is true, you are not a Baby Boomer. Baby Boomer birth years are 1946 through 1964. I am a member of The Silent Generation. That is just wrong on so many levels.
I am a boomer... 1947. When was the silent generation?
DeleteFrom what I have read, 1928 through 1945. I showed up in 1941, several months before Pearl Harbor. Our first child was born in 1964, the last year of the Baby Boomers. Our other two are Gen X’ers.
DeleteInteresting isn't it?
DeleteI'm not a boomer, either. No complaints. I always like that nursery rhyme. Both my daughters were born on a Wednesday, as was I.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to check on these things.
DeleteFriday!
ReplyDeleteOK
DeleteI have far to go and when I look at all the places in the world I have travelled to I have done a lot of travelling.
ReplyDeleteHope you are well Diane
There you are. Having far to go is not necessarily a bad thing.
DeleteDay? Apparently I am a Thursday Sagittarius, boomer 1951.
ReplyDeleteAs The witch in Little Lulu comics used to say, "Chortle, chortle."
DeleteOh, I had to be a woeful one, of course. And my son was born on a Monday, and he is show-stoppingly handsome, so much so that it impacts his life daily!
ReplyDeleteI guess the poem is true for you.
DeleteI was born on a Thursday and so this could explain my love of travel. My zodiac sign is Aquarius. The US president was Harry S. Truman (Dem), the UK Prime Minister was Clement Attlee (Labour), Pope Pius XII headed the Catholic Church. In that week of February people in US were listening to Careless Hands by Sammy Kaye & His Orchestra. "I Shot Jesse James" was a popular movie released in 1949 and on TV people were watching Casper.
ReplyDeleteI love that you took the extra step. Mother Wore Tights was the top movie of August 1947. Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette by Tex Williams and His Western Caravan was the number one song. 1947 was the year Howdy Doody and Kukla, Fan, and Ollie began. It was also the premier year of Meet The Press which is still on the air. Harry Truman was president. Attlee was Prime Minister of Great Britain and Pius XII was Pope. Did you know that Pope Pius XII died of a heart attack brought on by a severe case of hiccups? This was fun. Thank you.
