I will always associate February twenty third with my Gramma. It was on this day in 1906 that she was given a birthday.
Born on this day into a large German family in Greensburg, Indiana was Loretta Stier.
My Gramma… and she’s a Gramma, not a Grandma or a Grandmother… my Gramma is one of the biggest influences in my life.
She is the reason that I get up early every day. She is the reason that I pray every day. She is the reason that I arrive at work before the bell rings every day.
My Gramma worked hard and she prayed hard. She passed away in 2012 and has been pushing me from heaven ever since.
That’s right she died in 2012 and was born in 1906. Catholic school kids, help the public school kids out here with the math. Loretta worked and prayed for 106 years.
In the grabber section on today’s Morning Chalkboard is the name of the store she worked at for many years. She was a salesperson in the fabric department of the Marshall Fields of Indianapolis, L.S. Ayers.
Funny, well it’s not funny, but both stores that I mentioned were destroyed by Macys.
Happy Birthday LoLo… keep the fuzzy navels to a minimum up there.
Happy Friday all you beautiful Chalkheads. How about some sun to wake up to and some snow to lull you to sleep tonight?
Go out there today and be astonished!
