| This is a picture of Mom (sitting with Diane on lap) and the Daughters of the British Empire in Phoenix, 1947. Libby McGuire a dear friend of Mom's invited all of these new U.S. residents to join the DBE when they arrived in Phoenix |
Mom is still in the DBE 70 years later (she joined in 1946). She says that the DBE held many a marriage together in those early years when all the girls were so homesick for home. This is our DBE Birthday party for Mom and Daphine (English War Bride) both over 90. We used to have 5 members over 90, sadly we have lost 3 of them in recent years.
Mom with her 3 wheel bike at the bike shop where we had some work done on it for her birthday. They tightened all the wheel spokes, put in a new front tire, fixed the brakes, polished it up and added a light so she can ride around the neighborhood at dusk or early evening in the summer. All the Grandkids and Great Grands have ridden in the basket of this bike over the years with Mom or an older child peddling. Sean last had repairs done on it 10 or 15 years ago.
