Isn't it amazing how much they have seen life change?! Kids nowadays look at me as if I am crazy when I would tell them we didn't have a phone when I was young. Nor a computer, disk-man, I-pod, color-tv... need I go on? Oh dear, I must be getting old, haha. Merry Christmas to y'all, Dee. :-) God's Grace. Happy Birthday to your mom!!!

My mother (who died at age 51) was also born in 1921 - but in September. Be sure to wish her a Happy Birthday from me. Dee,

I would actually resent that comment but as it is, I'll not be able to remember it long enough to hold a healthy resentment.

I should have put this link (about the 5 generations of women in a row in my family who have earned college degrees - in <a href="http://deeandrews.net/2005/02/18/view-from-the-80s-for-21805/" rel="nofollow">"View From the '80s' for 2-18-05"</a>) in my post, but didn't, so will put it here. For a long time after I started blogging I was doing "View from the '80s'" posts every once in a while from the wit & wisdom of my mom. During that time we were emailing back and forth every day with often long emails. Then I got too busy blogging and with other things in life and stopped emailing her every day, although we talk on the phone all the time. I need to start emailing her every day again because I miss her written down wisdom because I can share that with all of you and also have the written record for myself. She's smart and funny and really a neat person. Greg - I'll ask her if she'd consider adopting you! You are about the age my little brother, Mark, would have been if he had lived past 8. She needs a "younger" son to go with my next to me in age brother Neil. Of course, I named my own younger son Mark, so that's where y'all have heard that name here before, and he's a jewel of a son. A true gift from God, that I've also written about before, but probably need to share again. Anyway - go to the link and read about five of the extraordinary women in my family and their accomplishments (I even include myself in those five just be default!). Cheers, y'all! Dee Thanks for the kind words, Cecil & Greg, for me AND my mom.

Either way, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a wonderful lady ... and the mother of a wonderful daughter. Dee you and I are together in the "up and down" thing. My wife is like your mom ... even keel. I tell my wife she misses out on one of the subtle joys of life ... just being able to enjoy that "being down" feeling some days! Interesting story. They came from a hard life and never knew it was hard because everyone lived it. That she was college "edumacated" is impressive. Few raised in that farm life ever escaped the farm to attend college. Thanks for sharing her with us. I just may eat a piece of cake at lunch in honor of her birthday. My mom died about a year and a half ago and I’m up for adoption if your mom is interested!!
