February 20, 1942. It was on this day that I made my first trip- to the hospital, It was in Silverton, Oregon My Mom and I stayed there for 10 days. Mom said she enjoyed it a lot.
1942 - 1943 I would keep my mom awake for at lest 2 hours every night. Mom didn't enjoy it a lot. 
1945, My first and only move,(before I was married) from near Hubbard, OR to 5 miles south of Canby, OR 1947 - I made mud pies for my dolls, they were the best in the west, because they were made with eggs, I stole from the chicken house
1948 - In September I rode the bus to school and started first grade. Some of the other little girls were crying because they couldn't find their room so I helped them.
1951 - I gave sewing lessons to the other little girls in the fourth grade. 1951 - I accepted Christ as my personal Saviour. 1953 - My little brother and I would stay at my aunts place every summer. We enjoyed it a lot. One of the games we would play was church and then we would have funerals. The only thing we could find for a casket was the bathtub. He would play dead in the bathtub and I would sing Jingle bells for the special music.
1952 - 1956 We lived 4 miles from church. My parents were janitors. When they went to clean the church my brother (3years older) and I would walk to the church and we sold greeting cards, cloverine salve, flower and garden seeds. 1953 I sold corsages, I would make them out of wood fiber sheets and sold them to the children in school, the teachers and the ladies in town. 1955 - I took piano lesson and played in several recitals 1956 - I graduated from the 8th grade.
1957 - I started high school at our church high school near Salem, Oregon.
1958 - I was a sophomore, I met Pop. I dated Pop. I married Pop.
Maybe on our anniversary I will give you the 50 history of our marriage
OK, OK, so today I turned 66 and didn't think about it till my little 4 year old granddaughter called me and sang Happy Birthday to me.
I wouldn't have told anyone but some have already commented on the post below, so I might as well admit it. Thanks for those that did send me birthday greetings. It means a lot. Also thank you, God for giving me a full and very good life.
I will praise the name of God with a song. Psalm 69:30
This is my story, This is my song.
Praising my Savior all the day long.

I want to add my wishes too. Happy Birthday. Was good to hear from you again and I love the stories from the past. Pasco Mom
Dear Gramma, So you had a birthday! Though its a little late, I want to wish you a Happy Birthday too! I loved reading your post. I am amazed at the number of grandchildren you have....we only have one with one on the way. You are trully blessed with so many to love and be loved by. Your comment over at my blog about the owl you photographed that had the feathers on its feet with an eye pattern was so interesting. You're right...a person seldom gets a chance to see an owl up close. Its such a treat, but too bad when they have an untimely demise. I felt sad it couldn't be preserved and so did my husband. He even called a bird aviary and they didn't give a 'hoot'...couldn't resist a little humor there =)...it just popped out. Well, better get ready for bed...its so nice to have you for a blogging friend, and a sister in Christ. Just think, we'll really get to know each other in eternity! How wonderful heaven must be!
Happy belated b-day! Love you!!
