My Trip

When I read about the Virtuous Woman, I think of my mom. She's successful at all she puts her hand to and works diligently at it.  She's smart, clever, and creative.  She's always busy, but never stressed and hurried.

Growing up, I knew there was nothing my mom couldn't do.

A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds.

Way back when I was in third grade, it was common to go home for lunch.  One day, after walking home I mentioned to my mom that it was my day to share a science experiment with the class.  This was back before take-home folders and when making 25 copies of notes was more arduous than hand-written ones.  So kids were just supposed to remember these things-which apparently I didn't.

Mom didn't flip out on me.  Not only did she make lunch for me and my siblings, but she helped me come up with a cool, fun science project. We played in talcum powder and water and I knew I had the smartest mom in the whole world.  She could have been angry, but she wasn't.

Yesterday was Mom's Birthday.

As soon as the cake was set in front of her, she magically turned 17 again.  (Yes, she did switch those candles.)

 

This is my dad and mom, me and my 2 sisters and 2 nieces.

I flew to Phx. to celebrate Mom's birthday with her.   This is my wonderful sister-in-law and brother who always let me stay at their house and play with their girls. 

Happy Birthday Mom!
