Centennial Celebration

Today marks what would have been the 100th birthday of my paternal grandmother, Rita Katherine Wilson Klinck. Although she was always entertained and laughing at our rather loud, sometimes crude family, Rita herself was very much a Southern Lady. To this day, if you hear one of us say, with a nod and wink, "I don't prefer that," we are quoting her. At lunch once I asked why she didn't eat her side dish and that was her response. "Oh, I don't prefer it." Not "I don't like it" or "Because it's nasty" like most would say. Just a sweet, "I don't prefer it."

A Very Happy Birthday!
