My Great Aunt Betty celebrated her 8oth birthday today. She was curious about the photo on the cake, so she just put her finger on it and was so delighted and a bit surprised when it turned out to be frosting. She was presented with a beautiful scrapbook put together by one of her daughters and at the end was something Aunt Betty had written about her earliest memories. I found it so sweet I shared an excerpt below. 

...but I remember when I got close to home I knew that I was going the right way, because I saw my mom standing on the back porch washing her hair in the rain water. She was singing, that meant she was happy.
