Mom is 82

Today is my mom’s birthday. I am grateful for every day she is still with us here. She is one of the best conversationalists Ruth and I have ever known. Her mind is sharp as a tack—yea, sharper than mine. No kidding. She reads the St. Louis Post-Dispatch every day, and watches the Cardinals every time they are on TV.

Mom was a ladies Sunday School class teacher for decades. Every day of my life she has used a daily devotional guide in her private time. She has been an excellent Pastor’s wife. As you can tell; I love her. I’ve often said if I ever write a novel, one of the main female characters will be named Doris. I find it interesting that I have never met a Doris I did not like. It’s a good name.
