Happy Birthday Grandma Johnson.... Today is March 17... St. Patrick's Day.... Emily Johanna Johnson was quite a character... Born in Norway, she ultimately settled in a picturesque New England village in Connecticut. I believe this picture was taken right before her 93rd birthday.
She was a feisty gal with quite a sense of humor. Very generous with a strong love for God. Every morning, I can remember her loving a cup of scorching hot Joe with a slice of pumpernickel bread layered with butter and cheddar cheese. An equally strong memory: every day at noon when the local fire station sounded their mid-day siren.... she would proclaim with her thick Norwegian accent...."12 o'clock and all is well..."
I hope she is keeping Dad company... oh' how she loved her Johnny Boy. How I miss them both....
