Happy Birthday, Grandma Datka!

My maternal grandmother, Helen, was born today 102 years ago. Though she died when I was 13, I remember her well. She was kind and loving. She could crochet up a storm and cook like no one's business. She was small in stature but a tough women - she had to be, raising 9 children (my mother included) on a farm.
