During her childhood she:

   - peddled her bike as fast as she could

     to keep up with the others.

   - was the first to jump in the mud puddle

     because she wanted to win the bet.

   - crumpled through the leaves wherever she went.

   - chose a wooden wheelchair from an old 'Sear's'

     catologue for her christmas toy.

   - insisted on being 'Roy Rogers' and her male

     counterpart be 'Dale Evans.'

   - never knew her dad, he died just prior to her birth.

   - had a male role model, her brother.(he had

     thirteen years on her.)

   - obeyed his every word, she admired him so.

   - hid under the bed and pretended to be

     a radio host.

   - went door to door selling 'Girl Scout' cookies

     once they where purchased she insisted on the

     the first bite and the neighbors abided.

   - was given a nickle every Sunday for church and

     on the way detoured to the local candy store.

   - with the nickle bought one cent worth of candy and

     four cents went to the church offering.

   - loved to share.

   - had a dog named 'Honey' that followed her everywhere.

   - still hid under that bed so she could hear what was

     being said in the other room.

   - heard she was going to be an aunt and was very

     excited that she told the neighborhood...

     (The wedding came as soon as possible.)

   - in her latter days of youth, added to the

     curriculum, went school, played ball, rode

     horses, went swimming,  dabbled in writing, held her

     own if anyone tried to bully her.

   - never veered from her convictions and to this day

     remains a wealth of all God's talents.
