Happy Birthday to my mother! Number 77 today!

My dear mother was born three years before the stock market crash of 1929 which brought in the great depression. When she was five years old, her family moved from Idaho to Los Angeles. When I say "her family", I mean it. Her mother and her two aunts and their families all relocated to California, I'm guessing in search of better employment. Even her mother's parents (Jake and Emma Mani) relocated there. The whole lot headed west to the land of promise.

Happy Birthday, Mother. I hope it's a wonderful day for you and that you're feeling better and gaining strength every day. We love you and are grateful for the fine heritage you have given us.
