Janice and Wesley Russ Melvine, my bride of almost 57 years is the historian in our family. She remembers birth dates and anniversaries. She would have made a great historian and history teacher. She has reminded me that Janice Robinson Russ, a dear friend of ours and for whom we have prayed daily for over a year for her healing, will be celebrating her birthday on Friday, March 10.
I know when she was born, but I am not telling her age. My grandmother taught me never to ask a woman her age. She would never tell us how old she was. We knew, but she hid that from us. She would always answer us by saying, "I am as old as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth." She lived to be 95.
If you would like to bring cheer and joy to Janice, you may want to consider sending her a belated birthday card.
