two peas in a pod
This is my mom (on the left), and her twin sister. Today, they turn 70.
Sandy and Patty… Not identical twins, but close enough. Still inseparable after all these years, still driving each other crazy in the way that only siblings can, still sharing that special bond that only twins have.
They’ve been through so much together. Aunt Pat lives with my parents much of the time these days, splitting her time between there and her children’s homes. She is the comedienne of the pair, while my mom is the straight man, er, woman. Together, they are a riot. There is never a dull moment when these two are around.
Aunt Pat also has twins, and she named them the same names, Sandy and Patty. This has always made me smile.
My mom is the oldest, born just a few short minutes before my aunt. So, of course, she is the boss.
Last Sunday we had a big party for them, and we laughed at this photo, and how much they still look like these adorable little girls.
Happy 70th Birthday you two crazy nuts…
I love you with all of my heart.
xoxo

Heavens, they just stole my heart. My favorite part was about your mom being boss because I am the eldest, my brother is three years younger. Happy Birthday to Sandy and Patty! May your years be filled with joy, family, and love.

Happy birthday, you two. I can tell by this photo that y’all are a mess, and I’ll bet when y’all get together, there are some knee-slapping funny stories. I hope today was filled with things that just tickled you pink. (Actually, I hope that for every day, but especially today.)

Patty and I want to thank you all for all of your wonderful wishes. We had a beautiful day with lots of love and family. It’s a great day to be 70, even if Patty still wants to think she’s only 60. LOL
