A local paper of Mom and 101st Birthday. Born 11/23/1921
Mom had 8 of us. Two died very early on, one died at two years old, another at birth. Mom cooked every meal and I used to love to watch her make rolls and that lemon meringue pie. She made sure we were up and dressed ready for school with a good breakfast before we left, we had to have something in our stomachs she said. Manners a must. She reads her Bible. I remember until her move to nursing home she said her bedtime prayers kneeling at her bed. She is still the checkers queen as she always wins. She loves to play scrabble too. 
How wonderful! What a special lady!! You are blessed! Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Blessed we are. Happy New Year to you!
DeleteWhat a sweet story about your mom, giving birth to 8 children, and celebrating 101 years young.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terra.
DeleteDearest Betsy,
ReplyDeleteShe is surely blessed aside from the two children lost...
A strong Christian lady and it proves again that praying people have a connection with their Creator and often a favorite one.
Big hugs,
Mariette
I so agree with you Mariette. She always reminded us of our prayers and to be humble. When an answer is sought like it was with me years ago, there was only one answer, I picked up my bible and found it there. God is the answer. Happy New Year Mariette, hugs, Betsy
