According to my excellent
Rexall Almanac, this is the an

E. German Republic. Wonder

Wednesday, October 9th is a
pretty important date in my life
too. You see, it is my wedding
anniversary, so just kind OF

column, a day or a week to it,
but the whole darned year -
way up to the next one. This
seems to be a big month at our
house for Anniversaries any

Two wedding anniversaries, my
nom and dad, and me, and a
Shop Hopping birthday, it is just
plumb full to the brim. What's
YOUR heavy month?
