Happy #45, Auntie Cherri!

Hi, Everyone!

As I promised, I have a very special blog for y’all.

Today is Sunday, March 24, 2013, and it’s a very special day for someone whom I love dearly. She stands five feet three inches tall, and was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. She’s a current resident of Long Beach, California, and she’s everyone’s hero.

Yes, y’all—today is my Auntie Cherri’s 45^th birthday, and when I spoke to her this afternoon, she was quick to tell me: “I’m not just 45—I’m 45 and foxy!”

In celebration of Aunt Cherri’s #45, I went ahead and look up some historic milestones that took place on the day she was born. Check this out: When Auntie Cherri was born, the price of a postage stamp was six cents, the price of a loaf of bread was twenty-two cents, and gasoline was thirty-four cents a gallon—YES, LAWD!!!

And if you can believe it, minimum wage was $1.60 an hour.

In entertainment news, actor Norman Fell of Three’s Company fame celebrated his 44^th birthday, while Steve McQueen celebrated his 38^th birthday. Also, the top songs of 1968 were “Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding and “I Heard It Through The Grapevine” by Marvin Gaye, and the top television shows were Mission: Impossible, The Avengers, Adam-12, and Batman.

And in politics, the United States was under the regime of President Lyndon B. Johnson and Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey… and I just realized that Vice President Humphrey was the original Triple H (hahahaha)!

My, how times have changed since Auntie Cherri was born—I’m just sayin’!

Well anyway, I want to celebrate Auntie Cherri’s birthday the right way. With that said, I found a clip on YouTube of her favorite song: “I’m Every Woman” by Whitney Houston. Go ‘head on and celebrate your #45, Aunt Cherri—love you lots, and God Bless!

Hugs & Kisses,
