First off, thanks to everyone who commented, texted me, emailed me, Facebook messaged me, etc. for Tony’s birthday yesterday – it truly made the day easier for me and I thank you to the moon and back!
Today, however, is my sweet Momma’s birthday! Three quarters of a century old! She doesn’t act like any 75 year old I know. I normally have to book myself into her calendar three weeks in advance to get together with her. She is a member of the 19th Century Women’s Club, she bowls, she is in a book club, she plays Mahjong, she’s a member of Sing to Live, she’s active in the food pantry – the list goes on and on.
She’s been especially wonderful this past year since Tony died. She canceled a trip of a lifetime to Asia last year when Tony got sick, and I am so thankful that I had her with me to deal with everything at that time.
And, duh, pretty sure I am her favorite child!
But I think that my brother Charlie think’s he’s the favorite, so not true, but I like to let him think so every once in a while.
Happy Birthday Mom – looking forward to seeing you tonight! Love, your favorite child, Biz
Happy Birthday to your Momma! I love that photo of her with the drag queen. Cracks. Me. UP.
That’s one of my favorite pics of my Momma too – makes me smile every time I look at it!
Happy birthday Beth’s Mom! Hope you had a great day.
That collage of Charlie is too funny.
Happy birthday to your mom and hugs to you for Tony’s birthday.
Love the pics! Happy Birthday to your mama!
oh dear goodness, those pictures with Charlie are hilarious.
Thanks Jody! 😀
The photos of your Mom and “Charlie” Oh my goodness. I couldn’t stop laughing. You are really good with photo shop. Happy Birthday to your Mom. She is amazing for going and doing all that she does. She has also raised three amazing children, with you being her favorite of course. I love the photo of her (that I am guessing) where she is holding you and your sister as babies. She seems like a baby herself in that photo. Happy to hear you made it through the day yesterday. I bet it was a roller coaster emotional day.
My brother is the photoshop guru – I stole those pics off his blog post:

And yes, that would be my young Mom holding me and my sister – she’s actually 28 years old in that pic – and to think Hannah is just 4 1/2 years away from being 28 is really crazeballs!
Yes, it was a roller coaster day, and it didn’t help that as I was waiting for Hannah and Jacob to come home I started watching videos on youtube of servicemen coming home and surprising family members and I cried like a baby!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA! Best picture ever? First block, bottom right! Have an exceptionally fun day!!
Ah yes, the classic picture of my Momma with a cross dresser in Key West this past February – I love that one too 😀
Aw – Happy Birthday to your momma! Love how you look so tall when you stand next to her 😉 And I really love that pic of she and Charlie on the butterfly bench!
Thanks Lynne – I know, it’s about the only time I do feel tall! (She’s 4.9 and shrinking!)
Happy birthday to your mom! The picture with the caption made me laugh!
That’s Charlie, just trying to be the favorite child, but both he and my sister fail miserably – I am the favorite child and Hannah is the favorite grandchild 😀
Happy birthday to your sweet Mom! She is one heck of a woman!
Thanks Erica – yep, she’s a strong lady!
I didn’t realize until this year how many back-to-back birthdays of close family members you have!
What a wonderful tribute to your mother. She does sound pretty amazing!
Yep – September and then in March we have five birthdays!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIZ’S MOM!!!!

Funny Charlie! (but I am still her favorite) 😀
Happy Birthday to your Mom!! I love that your mom lives such an active life. It keeps her young. I wish my patients would embrace life the same way. You have such a beautiful family. The last photo montage made my day! Thanks for making me smile this morning.
Thanks Aimee – I stole them off my brothers blog post last year for my Mom’s birthday – you’ll have to check it out 😀
