Today would have been my Great-grandmother's 99th birthday. I have the strongest memories of her little house in Toowoomba, with its old stove, its bead curtain and its little backyard looking over a train line. We all called her Mumma, because when my Mum (her oldest grandchild) was born, Mumma decided she didn't want to be called grandma. So she was Mumma to all her grand kids and great-grand kids.
