hello 29 and good bye tax time!

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU"....."HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU"....."HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MARGARET, MOM, MOTHER-IN-LAW & OMA"...."HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!"

The best part about setting up a blog for your mom is knowing all the passwords to post on it! We all just wanted to tell my mom (I mean our mom) how grateful we are for everything she does....really she does EVERYTHING!!! She may fill her basket a little full, but she is sure to see it all through...eventually. She is always so much fun to be around and willing to help out in any way. We are all so lucky to have her as not only our wife, oma, mother-in-law & mom, but best of all, our best friend. Too many times the things she does are overlooked and underappreciated. So, its high time she had a day of pampering and freedom. We hope your day at the spa portrayed a glimpse of how much we all love you and how much you deserve time for you! love you mom. p.s. you know what number is next right mom.......the big 50! Here is your 364 and a half day warning.....BEWARE!!!!
