Sue,

Thank you for the birthday wishes! So glad to have snow for my big day--we've had almost none all winter.

Love,

How many of you know that our blogmaster has had heart surgery? She was born with a hole in lower ventricles and at 21 had to have surgery. It was posted for 7 AM so we knew to get there early to see her before she went to OR.When we arrived [ at before 6 AM] her bed was empty and I thought, " Oh No, they have not taken her early!" , then I heard a sound in the bathroom, went in to find her doing push ups on the floor, determined to be stromg for the recovery!!
That is the kind of person Pat is! GREAT!!

To add to the Pat Stories - When she was in the hospital waiting to have open heart surgery, I visited her and was dismayed to see how extraordinarily tired she was, despite being only 21, because her heart was not getting her blood circulated strongly enough. I stayed while she ate her hospital dinner, which included peas. Whether from weakness or just an awkward spoon, she dropped some from her tray.

"Pat!" I admonished, "Don't pea on the floor!" She got laughing so hard she nearly fell out of bed!

I was reading through the birthday dates on the sidebar and noted that Great-Grandma Kate was born in 1864 and died in 1955. I was amazed to realize that I'd known someone born during the Civil War.

Even more, I was amazed to realize that apparently she died when I was only four years old. Yet I have several very vivid memories of her, which I wouldn't expect of a four-year-old. She certainly made an impression on me. I found her fascinating.

Wow! Such a wealth of comments!

Yes, I do remember doing push ups to get ready for surgery, but Mom, I get that from you--try to be prepared for whatever comes our way.

And, Sue, I often remember your 'pea' comment and smile. You were the person I had in mind when I put up Nancy's grandson Sal's picture with the mooching dog friends--such a quick punster is my oldest sister!

And, Dad, yes, Manfred the ancient and huge tortoise at Seneca Park Zoo always DID get me into trouble!

Love to all,
