Happy 91st Birthday Aunt Eleanor!

 

Happy birthday to a wonderful woman!
This photo was taken a couple of years ago when Mother and I went to Coldwater for a visit.

 

Mother (left) is now 92 and Aunt Eleanor is 91 tomorrow (April 5)!

 

Can we say that good genes run in my family???

 

I have such wonderful childhood memories of my visits to the Patch farm:

 

riding ponies

admiring the big red barn

smelling a big meal at noon

hearing Aunt Eleanor laugh

seeing a sewing machine at work

playing with children, children everywhere

cuddling with kittens, kittens, kittens

visiting the nursing home

learning to sing I Have The Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down in my Heart

hearing Aunt Eleanor call Uncle Harold, Butch

realizing how much Aunt Eleanor loves Jesus

having fun with Bonnie, Linda, Carol Ann & Treva

loving how Aunt Eleanor put others first

watching her care for Grampa Patch and Grandma Grace

being proud of her Volunteer of the Year award

 

...and the list could go on and on!

 

Happy birthday Aunt Eleanor. You are precious in His sight...

 

and mine!
