Moms cards (corkboard)
Marilyn Rose brought in a corkboard and mounted it for more cards so Mom could see them.
Mardene's Rocking Horse
During WW2 the war effort took the resources so cardboard was used in some cases. Uncle Berle bought Aunt Mardene this rocking horse. Reagan Lucille Miller was in the store room and dusted it off and heard the story related to it during her stay this summer. I will bring a copy of this pic for Mom and Mardene to see.
Gramma Cuz w/Flowers
Mom was having an exceptional day yesterday! We talked for 30 minutes or so and she was laughing and joking, always a good sign with her. These flowers were from us to her for Mothers Day a few years ago I believe.
