Today is the anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s historic walk on the moon.  It is also the anniversary of a very special person’s entrance to THIS planet.  My mother!

Mom and I are in the top left photo.  It’s from an album she made for me from my childhood, and it’s a precious gift and wonderful memories. She has always been there for me, and supported me, and encouraged and guided and yes, even lectured me!  I needed it, and still do!

This is a photo of mom with her baby sister Joan having some water fun.  They are still close and appreciate and love each other!

And this is Joan and Mom (left) last year- the two original members of the Skunk Hollow Girls!  Love these ladies!

Mom, I may have ‘grown up’ to be taller than you, but you are a giant in my eyes.  You are a great lady, a wonderful example, a Godly and precious woman, and a very special person to everyone who knows you.  Happy 85th birthday Mom – Kathy and I – and ALL of your family and friends – love you and wish you 85 HEALTHY and HAPPY more to come!!!
