Today is my mother’s birthday. My mother is a blogger - Ruthlace is a wonderful blog in which she writes often of growing up in the 1920’s and 1930’s. She writes about her experiences during the Great Depression and during World War II, her years as a young wife and mother, as a preacher’s wife, and the mother of seven children. I’ve learned so much from reading her blog.

I’ve written about my mother’s birthday on previous years. The first year I had this blog, I wrote a rather detailed post for her birthday. One year I wrote eighty-three things about my mother. I won’t give away her age, but this year I could have written eight-six things about her. Here are some photos from previous birthday posts:

This next photo is of my mother as a young woman.

And this next photo was taken a few years ago - my mother with my siblings and me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOTHER!p>
