HAPPY BIRTHDAY


Today I turn 58. Is that old or what? Older than 57 but still not 60. I work twelve hour days and stay up until wee hours of the morning. Maybe those Wild Turnips give me a boost?? Mother passed away four days before my birthday in 1996 and the day has never been the same since. She loved to have birthday parties, kids, grandkids, inlaws, outlaws, all were special to her. Our photo albums have assorted pictures of birthday parties with family, friends and neighbors. This photo is the earliest one that I have, looks like three candles on the cake. It was in Uncle Claude's Dry Hollow house where we lived the first four years of my life. My older cousin, Barbara Jean Bilyeu, had a birthday on Jan. 8. She almost missed being in the picture but I am sure she is the tallest one at the left edge. Then there are Buddy Mack, Emma Lou, Glenette, "Little" Hosea, and Gay Lea? kinda dim. Surely Anita Kay must have been there too. The picture just isn't big enough. Thanks Mom for the memories.
