Behind every great woman is a wonderful mom.......at least that's what I think. How I respect my mom. She taught me lots of things in life--how to cook, how to sew (not always very patiently!!), how to flower garden, how to be kind and respectful to people, how to serve others. And as we all know sometimes it takes a lot of years before we truly appreciate all they did and continue to do for us.
We got to celebrate my mom's 75th birthday this past weekend. We laughed as families do when you start reminiscing, and we enjoyed time together that is much too rare given we don't live in the same town. My sister-in-law Karla suggested we start doing "Christmas in September" so that we can have a good crew here and not stress everyone out so much in December. We're all pretty excited about it, and it just took one brave soul to suggest it. So very blessed to have a wonderful family. I'm looking forward to lots more "Christmases in September" - besides, after you eat all day long you can go take a very long walk in September. That doesn't work so well in December in Iowa!
