Well happy birthday to my brother! The Irish twins are the same number in age again for the 85th time. My brother was born two weeks before I turned one.
I often think of my mother and how she coped with a new born and a one year old. She had no conveniences. She did not have a washing machine. Imagine washing all those diapers by hand. There was no running water. In the winter they melted snow.
However, we survived. this photo was three years ago.
