My mom, Not in Sri Lanka


If you see this classy lady around town, make sure to wish her a happy birthday. Sure, she’s dressed up for a wedding in this picture, but she pretty much always looks like she just stepped out of a bandbox. Being brought up properly will do that to you. (Yes, she tried with us, but I think she still lies awake at night wondering how she managed to raise a bunch of damn Yankees.) After my rant about the heat a few days ago, my mother helpfully e-mailed me the formula for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit. See, she does have an evil streak. (Who taught that woman how to e-mail???) Mom checks the blog every morning and every evening so feel free to send her birthday wishes in the comment section of this post. No noogies please, but if you want to give her a squeeze from me she might let you. Mom, I sent you something fun for your birthday so I hope you scoot around to all the grandkids on October 8th and have a great day. I love you and miss you, happy birthday and many more happy returns of the day.

I called Mary today and sang the complete Happy Birthday song to her. When I finished she asked "Who is this?" I laughed and she said "Is this Jennifer?"

So Mary, Happy Birthday to you, and many more. Thanks for being here to bring us our good friend Sue.

Happy Birthday to my other mom!! You mean the world to all of us, and by the way, look gorgeous in that picture. We all love you very much.
Dave and Sue and all the Kids

Sue,
You'll be glad to know that we took Mom out for her birthday to the Village Inn in Childs. I think it is safe to say that she enjoyed herself, as she was surrounded by all her grandkids! It was a great night, only less so for your absence. And yes, Mom did look HOT! Bob "don't call me mister, that was my father" Boozer looked pretty dashing himself. Of course, he had the fish while the rest of us had prime rib or steak. I would have kidded him about it more, but he reminded me that he was 93 years old(and probably in better shape than me)so in hindsight maybe the fish would have been a better choice! Much love, see you soon (even though you can't see me) your lazy-no account-never writes brother Bob

Hi all, you're not seeing double, just "Forrest" trying to figure out this interface! Peace-out, BOB
