A very special day remembered for so many years with a "party."
She loved her birthday and a "party" everyone that could would gather at the farm or at her apartment in later years for a gathering to celebrate her.
June 13 1895 was a special day so many years ago. She celebrated 87 birthdays!
I cannot think of a better Grandma...she was well loved.

What a beautiful tribute to Tracie, and that photo of her proudly showing off her dahlias is absolutely priceless. You can really feel how much joy those June 13th gatherings brought to the whole family, and reaching 87 birthdays surrounded by that much love is such a wonderful legacy. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of her and keeping her special day alive with such fond memories.

ReplyDeleteHow fun for everyone to come celebrate. My family never had big celebrations like that, and I'm beginning to feel that we all missed out!
