Oh My!
Oh my oh my! Where have 82 years gone!
It began when my sweet mom, Lena, was helping Raymond with livestock chores feeding hay. The horse pulling the wagon, with Lena holding the reigns, got spooked and . . . so it went. Dr. Hovde from Winthrop came out to the Spaude farm, the farm my parents were renting. Sometime in the late evening, Noreen Laura came bounding into the world to join the family. My sister, Elvera Helen, age six . . . her world was never the same again.
Do I have any words of wisdom on achieving the 82 years? No! With the help of my Lord’s ever comforting and encouraging hands on my shoulders and a wonderful mom and dad how could I not make to 82 years. The Lord remains with me to each and every day and the lessons taught by Raymond and Lena, now resting in the bosom of the Lord, have given me a most wonderful life.
Many self-induced lessons from the “Old Adam” inheritance. Each lesson leaving a mark. I could either grow through, learning from it, or I would be apt to repeat it until I got it right. Oh yes, I am still a work in progress.
As I said, March 31st, 2026, I have a wonderful life sharing each day with Dennis in our own home. After each of us has had multiple health issues, being in our own home is a gift each day.
There will be more coming each and every day . . . for now . . . that’s very special.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
