Last week Mom met her very very good friend,
Anita, for lunch to celebrate the fact that mom is officially
older than dirt.
Anita must spend months and
months picking out the most perfect card for Mom and they are always funny. This year's said
"The world became a better place on the day you were born,
or so I've heard. It's not like I was around way back then."
Anita is 11 years younger than Mom. They became
fast friends nearly 30 years ago while working at
North Carolina State University
Anita found the most beautiful gift for Mom too.
It 100% describes their friendship.
It is by Willow Tree
It is called Sisters by Heart
which is what mom and Anita are.
These two ladies are beautiful separate
but when put together they hold hands forming a heart
Ms. Anita I know you read our blog every day so
I wanted to personally thank you for putting up with my mom even though she is a silly girl (that is an inside joke with Mom and Anita).
Your gift touched her heart and made her happy and when Mom is happy we are all happy
Lots of hugs from
Well now, it sounds as if someone had a bark...sorry...birthday! Happy Birthday Mayoress Madi's mom!! Our mom just loves the Willow Tree collection and thinks that the one Ms Anita got your mom is particularly arooootiful!
