My mother turned 81 in December. I am so proud of her. She lives life to the fullest, seems to have more energy than anyone I know and is on the go all the time. She is always lending me a helping hand, taking care of boys and just generally blessing our family!
My four boys…all of them appear to have a secret 🙂
Elijah had a special card for Mom. Grandma has either lived with us or on the farm next to us since Elijah was a baby. He can not imagine not being able to run over there several times a day….just for a hug, a snuggle or to see what yummy thing Grandma has been cooking.
When Mom opened Elijah’s card she started giggling when she read it. When she passed it to me to read I was amazed…don’t ask me how/why…I don’t have a clue. We are all convinced that he is really a midget sent to keep us humble….here is his creation in his card to Grandma…
LOVE METER?
Mom asked for my coconut chicken salad for dinner. She also didn’t want a traditional cake…she wanted an ice cream cake…toffee flavored….so that is what I made and it was yummy!
I tell Mom all the time that she certainly doesn’t look 81…I don’t think she even looks 71…now tell me readers…isn’t that the truth?
Happy Birthday Mom….WE LOVE YOU
