ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to the Lion's Cub.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Elizabeth!
ReplyDeletePricilla, that is for sure and there will never be another like her either. She is defiantly a woman I can admire for not just her strength but her courage too.
ReplyDeleteAllison, no kidding she sure was fierce at times just like both of her parents.
Carole Rae, I second that happy birthday Elizabeth.
That is quite the quote by her...love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd happy birthday to her also!
Jo-Jo, I think that one is one of my favorite quotes because it speaks volumes of Elizabeth's character. She is the ultimate example of self control.
