Today I Am An Old Woman

So today is my birthday and I have become a 66 year old woman.  Somehow that sounds so old!  But then, I have to remember that some folks don't even make it to 66 so I guess I should be grateful for being this old.  It was a good day spent doing favorite things:  shopping at little country small town stores, going to get a lunch of my favorite cheese curds and a frosty mug of root beer at the A & W stand,  then a little later on going to the Dairy Queen for a blizzard (Choco Cherry Love, of course!).   Lots of phone calls and cards.   Hopefully this will be a good year, and I will age gracefully................
Here's a photo I found of me and my grandmother Lottie Kulnis.  Maybe I was about a year and a half or slightly older in this photo.  I learned a lot from this grandmother - she taught me how to crochet, and formed a lot of my ideas about cooking and homemaking.   She was influential in so many things, even prayer and worship of the Lord.  I miss her, but I know I'll see her again in heaven.

Hi Pat! Happy Belated Birthday. I came across your Christmas card and logged in to check your blog. Enjoyed reading it and knowing more about your life on the hobby farm. I own few pictures of Grandma Kulnis, so seeing this is a special treat. You were so stinkin cute (and still are). My son has the same jaw line as Grandma. I will have to show him! XO Cousin Jody
