Grandma and her sister, brother and sister in law




We were invited to Robert's sisters for his Mother's birthday. She is an amazing lady who raised 5 children on a dairy farm outside of Cardston. She was converted to the church by her husband and they worked side by side for many years. They grew and sold potatoes, strawberries, rutabagas, carrots, eggs, chickens and other vegetables. They grew great corn on the cob and had a huge garden, they both had green thumbs. They owned a dairy and milked twice a day. They did their church callings and rarely missed a Sunday. She has grown older and Grandpa is gone but she still enjoys life. She loves to read, quilt, sleep in and stay up late reading. She is game for just about anything. She even went tubing last summer at the lake. I admire this wonderful lady. She has been good to me and the kids and loves to see the grandkids. My hat is off to her for the life she has led and hope we will have her in our lives for awhile longer. She is an awesome example of perseverance and faith. Love you Mom
