A Lifetime to be Treasured


Here is young Lucille Marker:



Here she is as a young woman:



Here is Lucille Marker Jones with me on tour for Farm Girl, two years ago:



Here she is one month ago, at her granddaughter's wedding:



And lest you think she's confined to a wheelchair (heaven forbid!), here she is with the bride & groom and the bride's parents:



93 years young and still going strong--truly a lifetime to be treasured!

  2. Which dress? Mine? My mom's? Or the bride's?

  3. Wow, 93 years. I'm glad she's not confined to a wheelchair, but it seems to help her out.

    I love your daughter's flowers.

  7. Brigid, yes they're hydrangeas, aren't they something? My mom flew out with my sister from Minnesota to Utah for the wedding. She looks so happy because she was thrilled to be there!

    Kitty, and if she ever got a chance to meet you she would love you too!

    Pat, a picture is worth a thousand words!

    Theresa, she wasn't crazy about the wheel chair but my sister insisted since it was a long day with lots of standing around during the photography session.
