Positive Post Tuesday

Another week rolls by, and I have the privilege of posting a positive post about one of the most incredible ladies I have ever met...her name is Lois Magenti.

Lois just turned 84 yesterday...Happy Birthday Lois!!! Lois used to live in Auburn, CA just a mile away from our home. My brother Norman, sister Joy, and I used to do yard work and odd chores for her and her friend Toni. She has amazingly gorgeous white hair and the most beautiful voice you have ever heard. I remember being 10 years old sitting on the ground pulling weeds while Lois cooked breakfast and sang sweet songs out the kitchen window. Gosh I miss those days and Lois too! Her breakfasts always smelled so delicious...she used to bring me out a bite or two with some soda. Honestly, it felt more like playing in the dirt with benefits than it felt like work. I wish I had a picture of her, but I don't think we ever took one. She always used to encourage me to think before I spoke, read continuously, and challenge conversations with sound (good) questions.

Thank you Lois for being such an important part of my childhood and a wonderful memory. Have a happy year!!!
