Memories...
Our local newspaper publishes a section, "100, 75, 50 & 25 Years Ago" with bits of articles that are a blast from the past. My mother's name was in there yesterday.
July 7, 1982: "Mrs. Clara H......, who was admitted to D..... Hospital June 8 for a snake bite, got up from her hospital bed for the first time Monday and is now making progress. Mrs. H...... received the bite on her foot while working in a garden south of .........." Mother was bitten on an ankle by a diamond backed rattler while picking peas. She was about 30 miles from a hospital. She recovered and was fine, but spent quite a while in the hospital and had kidney problems while there. It was very scary for all of us. I had surgery in the same hospital while she was there which at least was convenient for the family. She would get a chuckle about this being in the paper yesterday if she was still alive. Makes me miss her again. Those of you who still have your mothers around, enjoy them while they are with you.
