HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

A big Happy FORTY to my OLDER sister Penny!! Since my internet was lame this week and had to get a new router this is late and lame since I am out of time (I need to feed my kids dinner) to put up pictures of all your favorites Snoopy, Lief Garrett, Harry Hamlin, Scott Bakula, all things organic, no to meat, IKEA, the BeeGees, your smelly running shoes...I rather liked those high heeled slides you had back in the 70's and wished I had a pair. I loved to sneak into your bedroom and try on your clothes like your denim prairie skirt and ruffley blouse . Sorry for always sneaking your clothes (you too Jessica) and for that matter sneaking into your bedroom. Since you were an older bossy sister (and perhaps, perhaps there may have been times when I MAY have been a pest) we weren't always that close growing up, but I am grateful that has all changed and I can call you one of my best friends!!! Thanks for always listening to me, our conversations help keep me sane!! A great mother, hard working, one of the kindest people I know (seriously I am so mean compared to you!). I know you might get a little mad about the picture, but it is all I can find right now but you look so happy holding Nollie in that girl blanket that we made Conner and Anna climb on top of the playground to get after the wind blew it away. I wish you were closer, and I wish you were done studying for tests to get your MPH so you could talk to me more...and bake me some brownies because yours are the tastiest and that German chocolate cake, that is good stuff!! (this baby is hungry right now). I hope when I am forty I will look as lovely as you do!! I wish you lots of good grades, a happy life full of love from a maybe unmentionable gentleman you may have your eyes on, or a new one that will pay your student loans, and that your life will be full of joy!!
I LOVE YOU !!
