Introducing Marjorie

What a lovely smile!  This is Marjorie, I started with her last fall.  She is delightful.  92 and still very sharp minded.  Loves our Lord :)  She is native to Pensacola and I get so tickled that she shares Pensacola history with me.  She is a life long crossword puzzle solver.

I take her old newspapers and such to recycle at the school.  Two weeks ago, by accident, I took a box that had been buried under quite a sack of papers and plopped it all into my trunk. A few days later, while heaving my weekly collection into the recycling dumpster, I came across the box, thankfully I noticed that the contents were items she has been collecting for a long time and that included a few paperbacks, some recipes and a red hardback book.  I left it in the trunk to return to her the next week.  When I did go to her house the next time, I told her what I had done and she broke out into a smile and let go a deep sigh of relief.  The red hardback was a crossword dictionary from the early 60's that she had made a remarkable amount of valuable notes in it.
