94 years and still smiling



Happy 94th Birthday Marti 


 

Delighted to spend an hour, right on her birthday, around her little fireplace... 

So perky and full of stories .. she remembers my hubby ( he grew up in Spokane and was a little naughty and Marti loves  telling me about that)

Only a little time to reflect on her life, but I asked her what her favorite birthday might have been.

She said she had not thought about it before, bur probably her 8th birthday.    She had just asked the Lord into her heart and for her birthday her parents gave her a Bible.  
A treasure for many reasons, but one we might not think about today, they were very poor.  She was raised during the depression and times were hard.  She repeated that a few times, they were poor and worked hard.

The youngest of a family of 8 brothers.  When she was born, one of her brothers went around the neighbors telling them.. 

                      " We finally got a dish washer"

I have known Marti for probably 60 years. My instant memory of her is always with a smile.

An example to follow...  we all love you Marti !

I live an exciting life
