I took my mother out for her birthday yesterday. She uses a cane, has back problems, leg problems, hip problems, but she is as smart as a tack and totally with it! She turned 94 on the 17th of October, born 1916. We had our ups and downs during my growing up years and even into my married years, but through everything, I learned from her. I learned the good stuff and I learned the bad stuff. Mom is a treasure to me now after I became a grandmother. Funny how they can still teach you stuff after you thought you learned everything and started forgetting it. Up pops Mom with something that I never knew - maybe it is Jeopardy (she never misses it).
Happy Birthday, Mom, many, many more and I love you. Edie
PS - I said Happy Birthday, Mom, and many, many more and I love you to her yesterday. She said "Not too many."
