My Mother's birthday

Today is my mother's birthday. She was a twin but her twin did not live long. She named my oldest sister after her twin. She never liked her name much as it was Ethel Bessie. My mother's name was Edna Jessie. I was named after one of her sisters. She lived just short of a hundred so she lived well. She was a very active person. She drove for the Red Cross during the war. She was very proud of her graduation from college and they honored her for her many years before she died. She loved to cook at the church and was good at that. She wanted all her children to go to college and we went to Washburn and all graduated. I was not as smart as the rest but my brother was in my ability also but my two sisters were smart. She taught many women to drive because they had no way else to learn. My sister Helen took very good care of her. She had a great sense of humor.
