The January Birthday Boys

I miss those Januarys growing up when there was a birthday at our house every week and the Sunday dinner celebrations were pork chops, floured and fried in bacon grease, loads of mashed potatoes and gravy, rich chocolate cake, and hand-packed Ortman's chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla ice cream that Dad would pick up on Solano Ave. in Albany. With all of us living in different locations, today the most I can do is honor them on this page and send my birthday greetings to John, January 15; Dad, January 23; & Fred, January 31.

Happy Birthday to my favorite January men!

John Anthony Woolf age 2, now 58

Anthony DeVoe Woolf age 1, now 94

Frederick DeVoe Woolf age 2, soon to be age 56

What cute little boys they are!! And WOW--with YOUR birthday in January too, I can see where that month must have been almost as good or better than Christmas! April was a very fertile month for your mom!

Joyce,
Thanks for the birthday greeting. Gayle cooked a great dinner for us consisting of pork chops, floured and fried in bacon grease, loads of mashed potatoes and gravy, waldolf salad and peas and, later in the week, rich chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. It sure was delicious.
