Happy Birthday

This is a very special birthday wish to a very special person. Tomorrow, March 21, is her birthday. I won't tell how many years ago she came into our lives but it was also a special day. Not only was it the first day of spring but also the first day of TV in our town. My mother had bought a very ugly box TV but my dad was very excited about seeing what TV had to offer. During the first week the station was on the only thing you saw was their logo. The first broadcast was to be on March 21. I don't know which event thrilled him more, his first grandchild or the coming of TV. He suggested naming his granddaughter Teresa Viola and we could call her TV for short. I do think our daughter was happy that idea was shelved. March 21 for a spring day in Montana was fairly nice but after spending 7 days in the hospital the day we came home it snowed and did not clear up for several days. I finally got to watch TV. The station only broadcasted for 6 hours a day. Every year at this time I think about what a beautiful child we have and how exciting TV programing was. Happy Birthday to a wonderful daughter, the joy of our life. Guess I will go and watch TV. Grandmother
