Ruth Frances Lipe

I delivered meals from Kitchen Angels on Monday evening. Ruth and I always had a good laugh because we were both Okies :) She was about my mother's age, and my mother and she always asked about each other. She was a great story-teller. She remembered the wind blowing the sand against her legs when she was little, and how she just about didn't have any skin left from it. And she always had a quick quip. She said someone asked her when she would want to know how long she had left, and she said "Oh, about 15 minutes before they pull the plug." She thought it was funny that my mother wasn't going to renew a magazine because she didn't think she was going to be around that long and didn't want to waste the subscription. My mother died a little over a year ago, and now Ruth's gone. It makes me sad, but we had a good time. May she have a good rest.
