Another Gemini - Mom's turn!

Now, you won't believe this, but my mom is a Gemini as well! How cool is that - I had four parents! (Get it?) Well, it's good, cause at some points she definitely needed to act as two, ha! I know you see her a lot on my blog, but how could I pass up her birthday? Well, here is a little potpourri of her pix from years past , hope you enjoy them!
  1. Looks tiny, no? Well, hidden in there is a ton of dynamites. As a friend used to say when people told her her kids were short: dynamites come in little packages.
  2. Wow! What a stylish young lady (and those glasses are in style again, ha!)
  3. Didn't she grow up to be beautiful? Oh, and here are my cute siblings.
  4. She taught us to witness and never ceased to win souls. I've never met a more faithful soul-winner. Quite something to live up to.
  5. She's the best teacher. Knew how to teach you to think for yourself - an art I have yet to perfect, ha!
  6. She has a pioneer spirit, faith trips to the northeast interior on hamocks and old boats were charted territory for her. Anything to meet people and give them His love.
  7. Like any good mother, she did anything to do the job, even if that meant wearing a huge red hat out witnessing to brave the Manaus sun (to my utter embarassment, though when I took it I already know this pic would later be worth gold , ha!)
  8. She had a heart for the poor, especially children, and never helped them for any other reason but to see them taken care of. Wherever we were she always participated in helping or started a project of her own.
  9. And she's still at it, never giving up, always having faith, and still at it up in Iceland. Don't know what she's thinking up next, but you can bet it will be revolutionary and nothing will hold her back. ILY MOM! Have a stupendous year! Muah!

Cool. Both your parents are Gemini's? My dad and my son are. Plus 3 other members of my home. Gotta love them...you just...gotta.
Happy Birthday Susanna. If you read this, know that I admire you and think you're a fighter. Keep it up.

Hi Maria, your mom and I are longtime friends, and I agree, she is a wonderful person. She sent me this blog to have a look at her legacy. GBY for showing the world! The little blond girl in picture 5 is spitten image to one of my daughters, at that age. It took me by surprize!
KFTGFOF!
