Info

That infamous card has been frosted between birthday cake layers (in a Ziploc), replicated in 4x8’ plywood sheets, transported with their mother’s doll in a glass case, shipped UPS, and delivered by a florist with a funeral wreath. And that’s only a partial list. The sisters have a collection of treasured photos depicting many of the deliveries. The original card has a birthday bunny that Peggy impersonated when she sewed an identical rabbit outfit and hid in a giant box. When Clara Nell began opening the box, Peggy, the birthday card rabbit, hopped out. On Peggy’s 80th birthday, a community-wide birthday party/reception was held and stories shared about the rambling card. As usual, the birthday card was part of the celebration. The sisters’ merry laughter and light-hearted personalities are contagious. They give their mother great credit for raising them and their two brothers in a safe, loving environment while their carpenter dad made a good living for them. They now enjoy families of their own. Clara Nell has two children and Peggy has five. When they gather for family celebrations, the crowd of spouses, grands, and great grands spill out of the homes. The traveling birthday card isn’t their only binding similarity. They were both Miss Florence High School, salutatorians, basketball team players, city board members, presidents of the PTA, Sunday school teachers, and both married husbands from Richland. As for the birthday card delivery challenge, this past September, Clara Nell felt like she had topped the charts when she conscripted a son-in-law to deliver the card via drone. Peggy nodded in agreement that the idea would be hard to top. However, she hasn’t given up on delivering it atop a live elephant. “Anyone know where to rent an elephant?” she asks. n 60 • December 2015/January 2016
