Happy Birthday Ruthie

I mentioned earlier on my facebook that today is my mother's birthday. Happy Birthday to her. I learned just this year that her sister's birthday was just last week. Her and Aunt Shirley are just two years apart. This photo is my mom when she was a teenager. I know grandma and her siblings called her Ruthie.
Happy Birthday to her! It's the big double 7.

Grateful

I am so GRATEFUL for my BLESSINGS. I need to express my gratitude for my blessings in life. In this life of uncertainty, we need to appreciate everything the Lord blesses us with. I especially appreciate my family and the joy they are in my life. At this Christmas time I am especially grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. I have good health and a great career where I mingle with wonderful people, adults and children alike. There is not much more that I need.

These photos are just a few snapshots of my family. Grandchildren at Thanksgiving time as well as photos after school Christmas programs. I love living in this area where we can enjoy Christmas programs with all the wonderful music sung by the children.
