Is it true?  Can it be?  How can I praise God and those around me for allowing me to be this venerable age?

I think I am doing well until I think of my sister, Twila, now 104 and as bright as a tack, a blessing to me and many others.  I can not even imagine 104.  Whewh!!

Anyway I praise God for his love, for the love of Anna Ruth, the family and many precious friends around the world. I am heavy with thankfulness on my 90th birthday.  I remind myself that my mother lived until her 95th.

I found this old picture of myself about age 8 or so.  How agout that grin?  May I have that all my days. I think I was pleased with my sailor suit that I may have got as a birthday gift, at least a nice thought.   I have no idea about my shorts!  Crumbled!  Oh, well, ’tis me!
