  1. Hi
    I grew up knowing many of these by heart. I guess it was an important part of the family traditions that we followed and it was often something we tested each other on as children. I’m sure my cousin could recite 1 through 20 and then 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, and 60. I don’t remember hearing about many of the other ones that are in between. I think it likely these are recent additions. Some are a little strange I guess, I mean I’m not sure I would be greatly inspired to celebrate a plastic i.e. 53rd anniversary unless of course we did it completely humoristically which has to be about the only way to do it. Mind you, by the time I reach my 53rd wedding anniversary, if I ever get that far, well let’s just say the math isn’t in my favor or another way to look at it, maybe a sense of humor will be pretty much all I have left. So maybe every cloud has a plastic lining.
    Best regards
    Andy
