Another Year Older!

Well, for all of us who were born in 1973, we turn 37 this year. Today happens to be the day for me! :)

I'm so thankful to the Lord for His many blessings, and taking care of me all these years.

I thought it might be fun to take a little stroll down Memory Lane, and share some things I found for that year.

I'd love to hear what you remember!

Richard Nixon was President.

In the news:
The end of the Vietnam War
Arab Oil Embargo
Watergate
The launch of the first U.S. space station, Skylab
Construction was completed on the Sears Tower in Chicago.

Money facts:
The median household income was $10,512.
The average cost of a new house was $32,500.
A first class stamp was 8 cents.
Milk was $1.31 a gallon.
A loaf of bread was 27 cents.
The federal debt was $466.3 billion.

I also found some commercials on Youtube, and thought you might like to see a couple of them.

*Make sure you pause the music on my sidebar. :)

When I showed this to Katie, all she said was, "Mom, you're old." :) Hmmm.

It's hard to believe how technology has advanced since then!

Here's a little clip showing the CBS Fall Shows for 1973.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you're having a great week! :)
