Happy Birthday Baby Sister
Today is my sister's birthday. I was not quite nine and Mama was twenty five when she was born. Mama was much older at twenty five when she had Freda than I was when I had my daughter at that age. Mama was sick before, during, and for quite a while after this last baby was born. I remember she mostly ate only toast and jelly. Our OKC Grandma came to stay with us while Mama was in the hospital and stayed long enough to help Daddy move into a different house before they brought Freda home. We always rented. Speaking of rent houses...we looked at a really pretty house on Sevier Street while I was still in grade school. It had a big picture window and enough bedrooms that we would not have to share. Daddy said we could not get it because the rent was $100.00 a month. I do not remember what should have been the memorable event of bringing a baby sister home from the hospital. I do remember Grandma staying a little while and asking me to take a dish back to a neighbor at the end o
That attitude will take her wherever she wants to go!
ReplyDeleteThey come up with some good ones don't they!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute--she needs to be grounded more often--so she can just dance :)
ReplyDeleteHow precious...dance indeed. I was helping my granddaughter dry off after her bath tonight and she noticed for the first time that there were ballerinas on her towel. She asked when I bought that and I told her she had been using that same towel since she was born. She asked how I knew she would ballerina ...=)
