Happy Birthday, Mom!

80 years young!! We had a little gathering today for Bob's mom's birthday. What a special woman she is! Rich in the gifts of humility, peace, servanthood, music and love, she has enriched our lives every day. I am blessed to have a mother-in-law that has accepted me as one of her own, supported my decisions, encouraged us, never interfered, cared for our children, and shared the bounty of her kitchen, her garden and her sewing. Happy, Happy Birthday, Mom!



I hope that I can be the kind of woman she is when I am 80!
