OMG, I have been so blessed with “True” Women, close to being centenials, for they are the ones that some how actually survived & are our true Country’s Pioneers. Can you imagine the number of times in the last 100 years, that at the current time, it surely must have been like witnessing the unbelievable! These adventurous Women, if a most fortunate one, got all the way to Montana riding endless days, in the cruelest of conditions, on a Wagon. Yet, in comparison she was over deserving of one’s respect, & she was blessed was Grace.
I admit I was one of the lucky ones to recieve her unconditional love & kindness more then once. Her stories, wisdom, & knowledge, were so worth hearing & listening to, & learnig from. But I hope I always still laugh just as hard when I think of this, & that I never, ever forget the way Annabelle could look gently, & childishly innocent – like, over the top of her glasses at the Eagles Manor at 5:29 p.m. & deliver a punch line like a pro heavy wight champion fighter & have those of us remaining in the dinning room (which closed @ 5:30P.M.), unable to pick themselves up off the floor from laughing so hard.
With Love & Thanks
