KATHRYN JEAN PETERSON
was born at St Johns Hospital in Fargo, ND
When I was just a kid I felt bad that my birthday was on the same day as my mom's as I had caused her to be in the hospital on her birthday. But now that I'm a mom ... I know she was thrilled to have her second daughter born on her very birth day.
Each year
we celebrate together.
Each year
I thank the LORD
for another year of
having my mom
living near me.
It is a true blessing.
She blesses me by her example.
She is truly a humble and submissive helpmate.
One who does not answer back.
One who keeps 'doing the right thing'.
She blesses me by caring and praying for my family.
She blesses me by doing ALL my mending and ironing for me.
I love her tons and pray the LORD will give us more days
and years to enjoy each other!

We did a craft at our Birthday Party.
It is the crosses and the tomb.
The grass will grow up ... hopefully ...
I'm not sure if this is Katie's?
I'm not even sure why we were looking
at Katie's craft?!?!
Katie promised to do the next craft!
I can't wait!
Here I am blowing out the candles
on the cake.
See the candle
w a y over on the right.
It is still burning brightly!
When I was a child you always had to
blow ALL the candles out or
it meant you had however many candles were left as boyfriends. Silly thing!
I left ONE burning for the ONE love of my life!!
S H M I L Y
"dress up"
going on that night.

They say that I am growing old; I’ve heard them say times untold,
In language plain and bold – but I am not growing old.
This frail old shell in which I dwell is growing old, I know full well!
But I am not the shell.
What if my hair is turning gray; gray hairs are honorable they say.
What if my eyesight’s growing dim; I still can see to follow Him
Who sacrificed His life for me – upon the Cross at Calvary!
Why should I care if times old plough has left its furrows on my brow?
Another house, not made with hands awaits me in the Glory Land.
What though I falter in my walk and though my tongue refuse to talk?
I still can tread the narrow way; I still can watch and praise and pray!
The robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise to seize the everlasting prize
I’ll meet you on the streets of gold and prove I am NOT growing old.

Happy late birthday Kathy! I hope it was great!
