Happy 70th Mom!

I have four brothers. As the story goes, out of the five of us, I was the only one my mom planned. This once again proves that planning is a good thing. :-) So thanks mom (and dad) for planning. (Sorry brothers, but accidents can turn out good too!) Today, September 6th, is my mom's 70th Birthday. The year was 1938. Big things happened in 1938:

• The first ski tow in America began operation in Vermont.
• Wilhelmina celebrated her 40th anniversary jubilee as Dutch queen
• A nylon bristle toothbrush became the first commercial product to be made with nylon yarn.
• The Looney Tunes animated short Porky & Daffy was released.
• Minimum wage was established by law in the United States (.25 cents per hour)
• Evelyn Sue was born in Artusee, Oklahoma.

That last one is the most signficant. (However, that ski tow thing is nothing to spit at.) Mom was and is the best. Always up for something new, ready to serve, ready to chat, ready to go. Maybe she's slowed a bit over the years... but I doubt it. I just wish we could be with her today. So the video snapshot will have to do for now, until we see her in a few weeks. Happy Birthday MOM! I love you. VAN
