94 YEARS..........

AND STILL GOING STRONG!

Today is my mother

Margaret Josephine Kruse Thurman's

94th Birthday!

and she is still going STRONG!

What a legacy she gives to her family

Her life has not been an easy one but she has never shirked from work. In fact she worked until she was 80 and then decided to "retire"!

(after she experienced a minor stroke)

She has been many things to many people!!

One of the thing I have strived to do is be a Grandma to my grandchildren

like she was to her grandchildren!

Some pictures I have of her with her grandchildren over the years!

Her Grandchildren have grown up but they still have the special memories of a beautiful Grandma that never missed an opportunity to be with them or celebrate their successes!

With her grandchildren all grown up, came the "Great Grand children". She lives on a limited income but she never forgets the great grand children's birthdays and a little bit of money tucked inside the card!

All of Grandma Thurman's GREAT-grand children from the Zinn family!

Wealth is not a measure of success but the people that LOVE you and CARE about you are great WEALTH! My mother is filled with great WEALTH! The following pictures are just random pictures of this beautiful woman. When we had the Zinn family reunion last August the photographer who took the pictures asked if she could take some of just my mother because she was so BEAUTIFUL and my mother just smiled and walked over to her. Margaret Thurman is a beautiful woman both inside and outside and has lived her 94 years in a beautiful way!

Mother with her THREE daughters...

try as I might I could NOT get this picture to try and I have to go to work today!

Try as I might I could not weed out the pictures for this post so I am just posting all of them. After all.... when you get to be 94 you should have all the pictures you want for a Birthday post.
