There are several times per year (and per day some times) that I remember Grandma Berta. Her birthday would have been January 27 so it is a day that the memories come flooding back. On a trip to clean out grandma and grandpa's house this summer, my sister brought back some of her recipe cards and jewelry for me - I love looking at her handwriting. I can recall watching her fill out recipe cards or just writing down notes on her notepad, addressing envelopes, etc. In celebration of grandma's birthday my sister, a great writer (she should start her own blog :) sent an email with the "Alpha(bits) of Berta". I will share a few with you in hopes that you can imagine her wonderful spirit
: E - How she frequently enjoyed evenings on her front porch, F - A friend to many, both old and young, U - Upbeat...always, no matter what curveball was thrown her direction, Z- Zest for life.
She ended the note by saying " Love her. Miss her. Want to be more like her." Well said Megan and thank you for sharing. Happy Birthday Grandma Berta!
