Today is Beanne's birthday

It's interesting I think, sometimes after one dies, you remember their birthday more frequently than when they were alive. Beanne was my mother's friend - they went to college together, at Coe, back in the early 1930s. Beanne and her husband Dick became family friends. Dick was a member of the El Kahir Shrine and my sister and I often went to the annual Shrine parades. Dick was my escort when I got married. Beanne had a sense of humor ... humor keeps you young she would say to me. I'm glad they were a part of my life and through my memories, they are still alive.
