Our Life & Times

On Thursday, October 26th my mom will celebrate her birthday, and I won't say which one 'cause then she would be madder than she will already be when she sees I posted her picture on the internet! :-) Here is a list of some of the reasons I love my mom:

1. She raised me by herself after my parents were divorced and I never wanted for anything.
2. She took me to church and taught me to love Jesus.
3. She is the best cook I know, and never ceases to surprise me with the recipes she makes look so easy that a gourmet chef probably couldn't do!
4. She loves my son and she tells him so!
5. She has a knack for interior decorating, and if you asked me, between her cooking and her decorating skills I think she missed her calling.
6. When my sister and I were little girls Mom would make our clothes.
7. My mom was a hairdresser before she became a nurse for as long as I can remember, and she would always be around to fix my hair.
8. My mom usually just wanted me to spend time with her, but I was a teenager and didn't think it was cool at the time, but now I wish we lived closer so we could spend more time together.
9. My mom went back to college and became an RN when she was a grandma.
10. My mom has taught me it is never too late to live your dream.

Happy Birthday, Mom, and WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
