"To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends.
To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Happy Birthday, Mom, Grandma and Super Grandma!

In celebration of Mom's 80th, we all put Memories and Family Photos in Photo book for Mom &
Dad and published it for them. Then we all got together in Iona for a combined birthday party and Christmas celebration on December 15th. Most of us were there, we were just missing a few sons.
