Bporm in 1926 I was a depression kid
II grew up on a South Dakota farm
I early learned this,,use it up wear it out'
Make it do or do without
Birthdays come and they go
I grew up and was a nurses aide''
Worked in hospitals in S Dakiota'
'But moved to Tempe Arizoma
Met the love of my life in St Lukes PHoenix
Married inn in 1958 had Robbie in 1959
Lisa Rose born 1960
Wonderful marriage ended 1991
So now today Npv15 I have lived 90 yeas
Today I feel young again in spite of that
I will celebrate by bu ying mysel some things
Things I really w ant and give them to m,e lol llol

@Hatley - Ms Patsie - First of all... Happy Birthday. I would sing the song to go with that, but my singing would cause the crows to caw, the cats to meow, and the doggies to bark for hours and hours.
I have never set foot in the Dakotas, but, as did you, I have spent lots of time (working) in Tempe. I brought a "nut" from a tree in Tempe back home with me (Texas) one time long ago. It grew up to be a tall tree after I planted it out in the back acres. Don't know what kind of tree it is, but it is tall and skinny.
That Depression maybe was misnamed - I do not remember being particularly depressed back in those times. People were different (nicer) back then, it seems like.
Liked your new design this time a whole lot. It must be a birthday design. AND - thanks to @Happy2BeMe for suggesting this Birthday Baby post to me... -Gus-

Sounds like you had about 30 good years with the man you love. Ninety years? That is great! Happy day to you.

Will you tell me more about the depression? I can't imagine having to live in a depression. It must have been very difficult, huh? We are blessed no doubt. God is so good to us. I try to thank Him every day for His many blessings. Happy Birthday blessings!

@Hatley I bet it was a trying time for you back in those days. I'm grateful to the Lord that you had food and it sounds like you had plenty. Did you heat by wood? Did you have a out house if you don't mind me asking? For Christmas did you go and pick a tree and cut it down? Did you put popcorn strings on your tree? Hope you don't mind all my questions. God bless you and your family.
