August birthdays: Uncle Joe is 80 today!!

A certain week in August has always been party week in the Sprick family. We picture the old farmhouse ablaze with candles, awash with cake. That's because three of our venerated aunts and uncles have birthdays in this week. Aunt Marion was born on Aug. 21, 1922. Uncle Joe was born on Aug. 22, 1927, which makes his birthday TODAY. Aunt Annette was born on Aug. 23, 1914. If you're doing your math -- OK, we know you're not, because Spricks don't do much math, so we'll do it for you -- you can see that Uncle Joe is THE BIG EIGHT-OH this week. Happy Birthday, dear Joe! Aunt Marion, who passed away in 1987, would have been 85 this week. And Annette, who died in 2002, would have been 93.
