Why don’t I feel old? I use a walker to get around. When family take me anywhere it’s in my wheelchair. I can’t do many things that I did when I was younger. But if I don’t look in a mirror I even think I look young! Maybe that is natures way of keeping us old folks happy! Go away mirrors!!!!!!!

We are going to celebrate my 94TH birthday next weekend but I’ve received several delightful birthday cards and I’d like to show you some of them so here goes………

Flowers and card from my beautiful daughter Pamela and her husband Tracy Drake who I now live with in their home in Deer Creek community Sarasota Florida. I’m very lucky!!!

My faithful always there for me niece Peg Eastman

My wonderful Venice Bird Bay friends Tom and Debbie Winters who spend summers in their Tomahawk Wisconsin home on the lake..

My nephew Larry Gardner and his looks like a movie star wife Pat

My nephew Steve Gardner and his lovely wife Karen

From my beautiful granddaughter Sarah Drake. So thoughtful and sweet of her

Candy covered strawberries from my dear friend in Ohio Lisa Ellyson. I already ate one YUM!YUM!

This card is from my very special niece Jean Kraus and her husband Jim

And…what a lovely surprise! A two page letter included from my niece Jean Patrick Kraus! And here is a paragraph included in that letter……she wrote

I think you have led the most interesting life of anyone I know and you have done it all by yourself. Very gutsy lady!

Thank you Jean,

YOU JUST MADE MY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
