Today is my Mom's 71st Birthday and I want to wish her a very happy birthday. She deserves it! She always went out of her way to make my birthdays nice. Even when I did not want anything done she would arrange a surprise party for me and always make me feel special on my day. Love her! She is the best Mom ever!Some random things about my Mom:
1. She is so much fun to be around
2. She is a wonderful friend...to everyone
3. She loves water. She took us to the beach all the time!
4. She enjoys the outdoors and is always on the go.
5. Growing up she named a hill after herself, Norma Jean hill, and she would always take us and friends to slide down it with cardboard, or fly airplanes or just to play.
6. She makes the best homemade frosting! Yum!
7. Charity is her middle name (not for reals) but she would help anybody, anytime.
8. She LOVES learning about everything.
9. She owned her own business when I was young and it was very successful.
10. She had to drop out of high school because she married young and had a child young but she went back and got her GED and eventually became a licensed Respiratory Therapist.
11. She sews beautifully. Sewed many of our clothes growing up.

Wow! it's no wonder you're the way you are! Like mother like daughter!
She sounds so fun! Tell her Happy Birthday - I hope my kids can think of so many great things about me....ok, I hope they can think of half of that many!
She sounds so much like you! What a blessing that she has a daughter who appreciates her!
What a lovely tribute! I love all those things about Grandma, too! I'm always telling my children how much fun we always had with her growing up! I'm really lucky to have her as my grandmother. I've been trying to call her for the past 2 days, too, but her phone has always been busy. It's no wonder she's so popular, though!
