Happy Birthday Grandma Stevens

Today is my Grandma Stevens birthday. I'm not sure which one, but she was born well over a hundred years ago - since my mom, her daughter, is almost 90!!

My grandma was not active in the church for many years - but she got active when I was in college. I have always been grateful for that, since she was in the temple with me when I got married. It is a special memory that I treasure. She had become an ordinance worker in the Los Angeles Temple, so she had a fine time taking me around to meet her friends there!!

Her birthday is one day before Alice's birthday. When I would say that to her, she would always reply, "Might as well have missed it by a month. If you miss it, you miss it!!" (She was not the sentimental type!!)

I loved my Grandma Stevens. She didn't have a Grandma's Treasure Box, but she did have a drawer at the bottom of her linen closet that was all ours when we went there to visit - in my memory it is a veritable treasure chest of things to play with! (and I think it mostly had old decks of cards and poker chips in it, but we were always happy!)

Give your grandma a hug today in her honor!!
