HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TERI!!!

Picture was taken back in the eighties. Teri's cooking Thanksgiving dinner for friends and me and her sister, Cindy. I think she had just returned from a trip to Radio Shack - good thing she went when she did as they are getting rid of a bunch of stores. Guess that shows what a million dollar Super Bowl ad will do for a business.

Teri is helping me get ready for my move to a retirement center. Teri is very well organized whereas I'm the opposite. At least I feel that way. I have Ataxia which makes it very difficult to walk and also affects my hands and just about everything. I hate it but that doesn't seem to help!

Teri has been such a light in my life as is Cindy, and I consider them the best things that ever happened to me. Neither one lives close to me, and I wonder why they didn't know about extended family living. Maybe they didn't know what it meant and I should have spent more time explaining how things were in the old days. I've had so much fun with my girls and I'm sorry I don't have a gift for you this year, Teri. Of course it would be hard to match the one I made for you last year - I collected dryer lint for a couple of years and made a pillow for you which I'm sure you sleep on every night.

So have a good birthday and celebrate with Harry and Mark.

I love you more than you'll ever know.

your mom
