Celebrating 95 Years...



The girls enjoyed the chance to visit with their Grandma Gigi (Great Grandma Stoops) at her 95th birthday party. At 95, Grandma still enjoys her daily chocolate and is a serious contender in a game of Rook! Those things in mind, following are Billie Stoops' pearls of wisdom:

Pearls of Wisdom
  • Always set the table first so that when your husband comes home, he thinks dinner is almost ready.
  • Eat a little chocolate every day. Eat your candy slowly so that it can last a long time.
  • Always tithe and always budget. Wait to purchase something until you can pay for it. Save a little money each month and put it in a sock to use as mad money.
  • Love someone the most when they seem unlovable.
  • This too shall pass! Give it the water treatment! The more the merrier! NO is a beautiful word.
  • Never pass up a game of Rook or a chance to have a piece of chocolate silk pie with a hot cup of coffee.
Words of wisdom from a Godly woman with 52 sons, dauthters-in-law, grandkids and great grandkids (and about that many more foster kids!). Happy birthday, Grandma!
