34. Happy Birthday...

Updated: Feb 12

Celebrating 98 years of life is no small feat. The ancient Egyptians are credited with “inventing” the celebration of birthdays. They believed when pharaohs were crowned, they became gods, so their coronation day was a pretty big deal. That was their “birth” as a god.


Sometimes wishes take time to surface. Verna was a perfect example as she shared her love of many things including her daughters, her home, her daily crossword fix, but it was her love of food that helped Verna define her real wish. German, Greek or Egyptian, it really did not matter where the heritage lied, with smiles to fill the room The LWF presented Verna with a beautiful birthday cake, commemorating the day of her arrival, crowned as one of the beloved gods.
