Macy's, the cotton gin, and your anniversary!! What a day in history!! And the fact that the World Series started that day seems fitting as well.
Happy Anniversary! Do you celebrate the repealing of the Volstead Act too?
What better way to celebrate than with a (cotton) gin martini? Happy happy!
Good god, my security word was ploope.
1922 - My father was born. Happy anniversary! And here's hoping the Phillies kick butt -- again!
My security word was "rever" which I do believe is an actual word.
Clever as always, kiddo.
Congratulations on both events :)
So great that you get to cheer on the Phillies on your Anniversary! Cheers!
Happy Anniversary! Go Phils!
That's all????
