My grandmother was born on this day in 1903. She had a great marriage to my grandfather until he passed in 1969. She was a wonderful mother to my mom and my uncle. I don't remember ever seeing her upset or in a foul mood. She had the most upbeat personality and I could talk to her about ANYTHING and she would just sit there and listen for however long I wanted to talk (and with my big mouth that could sometimes be a LONG time)! When we cleaned out her apartment to get ready to move her into assisted living I was lucky enough to get some of her possessions. I got her yellow couch that she kept in her spare bedroom in her apartment. I also got some metal mixing bowls that I use frequently. When I went through my many years of college she was one of my biggest supporters. I remember when I was debating whether to take a typing class in high school she said, "Cathy, you can ALWAYS get a job if you learn to type!" How very true that was....
