A friend of mine's neighbor is turning 96 on September 25. she has no family, and lives alone. We thought it would be nice to shower her with cards for her birthday - maybe 96 cards for her 96th birthday. Her name is Frances "Babe" Sweeney. She was a star baseball player when she was younger. Here are two articles (in 2 pieces each). In the second picture Babe is the one in the white blouse.
Note: She was called Baby because she was the youngest in the family. In one of these articles it says Baby Sweeney. She got tired of being called Baby so she changed it to Babe, which has stuck even now. Her baseball career kept her from ever marrying, which my friend says Babe now regrets; she enjoyed playing baseball and her fiance didn't want her to continue.
If you are interested in sending a card, please PM me and I will send her Name/address/C-S-Z. She will be SO surprised. We will try to send so they arrive as close to the 25th as possible. Thank you for your help.
I am verifying her address and will send to those requesting it ASAP.

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done.

Just follow God unquestioningly.
Because you love Him so, for if you trust His judgment there is nothing you need to know.

| Linda, I just sent you an e-mail. What I do, if I address a card before the time to send it out, I put the date to send where the stamp goes. I don't know who told me about that, but it was years ago, works for me. You just have to leave it out and not hidden (LOL) |

| I have done that, too, Ruth. It is a great way to send something on time. My problem is that at times I have mistakenly buried it and I find it late. LOL! |

| Hi Linda, How did Babe's birthday go? I hope my card made it on her birthday. That was so sweet of you to get this all together. Our elders do miss out on a lot of great things and this was very special. Thank you |
Farmgirl Hugs & May all your Wishes come true.

| Yes, Sherry. Your card got there on her birthday. As of the afternoon of her birthday, she had received 66 cards - many from farmgirls. 27 of the cards arrived on Monday - her birthday. I have a feeling she may have received more in the few days after her birthday on Monday, too. The cards made her very happy, and she said she was surprised so many people who didn't know her sent her cards. Thank you everyone who participated. |
