..and she's actually in Las Vegas visiting her other son {Mr. B V2.0} and is having a wonderful time. She'll be back with us next week..but I thought I'd tell you a little something about her..
Besides giving me the best gift {Mr. B himself}...
* Her Dad owned a carnival in Iowa for years - and she traveled around the Midwest with him. She was even the "Head Without a Body" in the carnival..she tells us about driving into towns and seeing people sitting on their front porches drinking lemonade and waving...
* She lived in Iowa most of her early years...
* Worked for the telephone company for years - started out as a swithcboard operator..held many positions and retired - then started a second career as a bank teller
* Has a gold belt {I think that's the color} in Tai Chi..and sometimes drinks Chi Tea {!}
* Watercolors like nobody's business
* Is on Facebook, plays computer games, crochets
* Watches Gene Simmons's "Family Jewels" show {wha??}
*Has been "Grandma Evelyn" to my kids..an "instant Grandma" almost 30 years ago to my 4 children when "Saint Mr. B" married and became Daddy to my kiddos - now she's a GREAT Grandma to my Grands..
* She gardens, takes wonderful care of the pups when we're at work or away, irons all of Mr. B's shirts and my ironalbe blouses {thank you thank you thank you}
* And...she can do more things with a pound of hamburger than anyone I know..{just ask me about the Bean Burgers!} and she makes a mean Rice Krispie treat..
* She has been a benevolent neighbor, helping with babysitting, gifts, food and even cash when needed and does not want credit or accolades..
So Happy Birthday Mom/Evelyn..we're so fortunate to have you in our lives..and you have been the Mother I always dreamed of having..
Soooo...
..the aMaZinG Mr. B..
and
..me
