Saturday Shower

It may be a shower, but these are tears of joy.  My thoughtful and loyal daughter, hosting a bridal shower for my kind and generous DIL2B, attended by my wonderful sisters and mother and nieces.  Not to gush, but it's just hard facts that I scored in the lucky department.

Sure hope there's dessert!

Mum

Happy birthday to my beautiful, capable mom! I've always admired my mom and never could compete with her (not in an I-need-therapy way but in a she's-so-proficient way).  I favor my dad - in looks, in disposition, in skills...and I love and honor that. But to be more like mom - that would be a delight! I know I've picked up a few lessons from mom over the years, and I like to think I run my castle like she runs hers, but she is the queen.  This pretty woman bore seven children...she has more projects and energy than anyone I kmow.  My little mum - so very big to me! Happy birthday, mom! Love you!
