Happy Birthday to my Mom

Today my mother celebrates her 89th birthday. Won't be able to share it with her, as is the case most years, because my folks are away at the National Farmers Union Convention, this year in Las Vegas.


Mom has done well over the years and all four of her sons are grateful for her for all the years she spent bringing us up. Dad's work took him on the road a lot while we were growing up and most of the child rearing was left to her. We were fortunate to have a mom who could stay home and care for the family. Over the past few years she has seen her eyesight starting to fade and needs hearing aids but she is still the same, beautiful mom that I remember waiting at home as we boys returned each day from school.


Happy birthday Mom and thanks for being there.
