Yup. My grandparents were both born in 1917. Grandma's birthday was April 14, Grandpa's was two months later on June 12.

Grandpa passed in 1993, grandma hung in there until in 2015. I spent summers with them on the farm every year from age 8 to age 16. Learned what hard work really was (bucking bales in the hayfield), and how & why you should do your best to fix things when they break - instead of just buying new ones. Waste not - want not wasn't just a trite phrase, it was a way of life for them.
