For Mom's Birthday...

... I went to Office (Max?  Depot?  I know where the store is, just not which one it is)... Store, and had a telegram copied and framed it.

The telegram was sent by Mom's great grandmother to her husband, Mom's great grandfather, in 1902.  I found it just before we moved in December, folded and living inside Mom's Grandpa Keen's copy of the New Testament he received in Sunday school as a child (the telegram was sent from his mom to his dad).  It was in amazing shape for being over one hundred years old.  When I found it, I knew it must be Mom's.

Had another copy made and laminated, and it's now living on my wall in the hallway.  Yay.
