Today was my Grandma's 86th Birthday! I had the privilege of She and I spending the afternoon together which is something I don't get to do very often being that she lives almost 2 hours away from me. She is quite the lady!
I asked her about the day she was born, she told me she was born at a purple brick house just down the road from where she lives now. The doctor didn't make it for the birth because he had to come by horse and buggy. From what I gather a nurse mid-wife type person delivered her. After she was delivered she wrapped her up and put her in a shoe box and set her on the oven door to keep her warm. I can't even imagine.
She has taught me many things. How to make a bed you can bounce a quarter off, to crochet, to make homemade bread just to name a few.
She has lived alone, and taken care of herself for I believe 28 years now. She was still doing hair in her beauty shop up until about 2 years ago. She has always been a go getter!
I am very grateful for family and the legacy they have left for me and my children!!
Happy Birthday Grandma!! May you have more to come.
I've been hearing him for about a week, now I know he's this close, it will be easy to figure out what's happened to Briley's cat if he comes up missing. (just kidding.)
