(Sorry the photo's a little dark we were running out of light)Yesterday we celebrated my Mom's "83" Birthday. Her birthday isn't until the 1st of August but Les and I will be out of town then so we celebrated it early. I wanted everything to be nice and go just right but what ever can go wrong usually does go wrong. Mom and my siblings arrived and we were going to barbecue, well when Les tried to hook the propane to the grill every time he would turn it on it would blow off the hose. Wouldn't you know it some little plastic fitting broke and therefore we couldn't use the grill. So we had to take the steaks in the house and broil them. Other then that we had a great time together. It was great that we could all get together to celebrate her birthday. It would have been better if Burt could have been with us but he was unable to make it. It's hard in this busy world to find a time when we call all get together. We had fun reminiscing and laughing together. What a great influence Mom has been not only to us but to so many others. She grew up on a farm. She is the oldest of six and the only girl.
Mom felt as comfortable on a horse growing up as she did driving a car. Her life has been a life of service; helping with her siblings, working on the farm and in the orchard, raising her own 6 children, taking care of our father and her mother as their health declined, not to mention helping all the widows in her neighborhood get to church. She also helps a lot of those ladies find joy in the winding down part of their journeys by having club, playing cards, laughing and sharing. She is a great example to her children and grandchildren. Happy Birthday Mom!!! And here's to many more to come.
