Birthdays

since Ann put the birthday wishes on the blog and since today is our baby brother's special day I thought I would add this Trivia I came across for Alan's special day!!!!

Monthly
Trivia-
Today is Wednesday March 7th, the 67th day of 2012. There are 299
days remaining in this year, and as I researched the events that happened on
this day in history, I found out that it was on the 7th of March in 1933 that Charles
Darrow
devised the game of Monopoly.
The great Depression was in progress and he sold the game himself for two years
prior to it being mass-marketed by Parker Brothers in 1935 making Darrow a
millionaire. I guess he passed "GO" and never looked back!
And if you're in the mood for birthday cake, why not crash a birthday party
today. Willard Scott (Today Show weatherman & friend of centenarians) will be
celebrating his 78th birthday today and former Disney-head Michael
Eisner
, his 70th. And if today is also your birthday, here's a great big
"Happy Birthday to YOU" from StudioKat Designs, and if today is not your
birthday, you can celebrate the day anyway with a rousing game of Monopoly, or
if you're pressed for time, maybe just enjoy this little video of funny Willard
Scott clips
from 2009!
