I grew up in a time when neighbors were like family, where we respected Mr. and Mrs. just as much as our own parents. Today is Mrs. LB Smith’s 99th birthday—a lady who holds a deeply special place in my heart. Just the other day, she told my mom, “It’s me and Punkin’s birthday on Sunday, and we’re having a celebration!” Even though my birthday was on the 7th, she still remembered me, and it warmed my heart. She even asked her daughter today, “Where’s Punkin?” when she didn’t see me. Let’s just say… we know who her favorite is without needing to say it! Happy 99th Birthday, Mrs. Smith—60th & Marshfield’s finest.
