Fun Family Facts

Occasionally, when I’ve nothing else to do and the mood strikes me, I like to head over to the internet movie database website (IMDb.com) and spend a little time reading about my favorite movies and TV shows.

Last night I found out these fun facts about Everybody Loves Raymond:


Ray Romano, who played Ray Baron, is actually 3 years older than Brad Garrett, who played his older brother Robert on the show.

The two characters who have been in every episode are Ray (of course) and Doris Roberts, who played Ray’s overbearing yet loving mother, Marie.

The actors who played the Baron children, Michael, Geoffrey, and Ally, are real-life siblings Sullivan, Sawyer, and Madylin Sweeten.

And now, a few fun facts about our real-life family:

The only member of our family who doesn’t share a birthday with a relative is Zack.

Jeff’s birthday on Nov. 11th is the same as my nephew David’s.

My birthday on Aug. 13th is the same as Jeff’s nephew Andrew’s.

JJ’s birthday on March 9th is the same as my nephew Nathan’s.

And Mandie and Danica not only share a birthday with each other (5 years apart), but with my sister Becky, whose birthday is on Feb. 7th.

Interestingly, our son-in-law fits right in, sharing a birthday with Grandpa Jon on April 8th. Way to go Dan!

Speaking of birthdays, even though all the “boys” in our family have brown eyes, and all of the girls have blue or green eyes, the boys prefer white birthday cake, and the girls prefer chocolate.


That's all the interesting family trivia I could think of.

And now, here's a special treat for you…
