Happy Birthday Yola


You are 81 now and when we skyped with you yesterday you didn't look a day over 65. Thank you for having such a wonderful spirit of adventure that brought you to visit everywhere we wandered. This picture was taken on the coast in Taiwan in '87. I didn't get a picture of my most vivid memory. It had to do with the interesting sculpture in the ladies room and helping each other get back up ... You have made all my kids think it is normal for in-laws to get along because you loved my extended family from the day I became a Sharpe. When I grow up I wanna be just like you, only I don't wanna make quilts, but I would like to live in Mendocino ...
Happy Birthday Mom!
