Happy Birthday to Judy!

 One of my favorites from days of yore - written in Mother's hand.

 Judy always had a happy, optimistic outlook - and was full of nonsense from the get-go.  Love this picture -and she grew up to be beautiful.

And this picture, looking very un-Judy like, but look at the height of the lilac bush - early days in Penrose, for sure.

Judy, we can always depend on you for listening, counsel, advice (even if we don't always take it), and lots wisdom.  You have always helped us to look on the bright side of things, even in times of stress and difficulty.  Thank you for being there - can't wait to read your autobiography.  I know it will be full of memories, both shared and new to those of us who left home early on.  May this be a very good year for you and your family - you are dearly loved.
