Happy Birthday to my sweet Mommy! (The part of the sign that David is kicking says "We love you!")
Sixty years ago a little sister was born in Baraboo, Wisconsin. She grew up to be the most wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, teacher and friend. She's a little on the short side, but makes up for it in spunk and verve. She's a little on the messy side, but nowhere as messy as she used to be. She loves to read and to teach others about the love of reading. She loves cats, chocolate and shoes. (Remember the yellow Minnie Mouse pumps from the Imelda Marcos era?)
She has an uncanny ability to match colors. She can braid little girls' hair lickity-split. She made many prom dresses and Easter dresses that were much better than the store-bought ones. She bakes a killer loaf of banana bread. She can sing the harmony to any popular song from the last one hundred years. She has the most distinctive, beautiful handwriting. She is a good sport (usually), even though we tease her mercilessly.
She is tender-hearted, faithful and someone I love with all my heart. Happy Birthday, Mom!
