Some birthdays end with Zero's
Although I'm a day late, I need to begin my blog by telling you about my oldest daughter who lives 100 miles away and, therefore, cannot get to me too quickly. She had a big birthday yesterday; yes, a big birthday, one of those two digits that ends with a "0". I called to wish the "old girl" a happy birthday and, can you believe this? She was at her church in a class for "kick boxing"! She is a very active person who is always, always on the go. I don't know how she ever gets still long enough to do her crafts: knitting; card-making; scrapbooking, etc. I wonder if her niece and my little granddaughter, Livvy, will be like her; she, too, is always on the go.
Marty is a very talented person as you can see by her hobbies and crafts. She's a very creative person as well. She can work on her car, lay tile, and decorate. She and my younger daughter are the ones who decorated and revurbished our bedroom, bath, and dressing room. I am so fortunate to have such talented girls. I know that, as I get older, they will make wise decisions and take very good care of me.
When Marty was a teenager, I depended on her to help with the 2 younger children. She was very good at this and I trusted her completely with them because she loved them too. In fact, when we were having to move out of that state in which we resided, I left them with her for a few days while I flew over to the place where we would be moving. She took excellent care of them. I still depend on Marty in many ways. She's a very special daughter and I wish everyone had one like her!
I'm very proud to have such a sweet daughter as Marty and glad that she is able to be so active and usually cheerful (of course, I think her 2 daughters and son have something to do with this). I just wish that she lived closer by so that I could spend more time with her; but, when I tell her this, she always says, "I'm not too far away", and I guess she is right compared to many other parents whose children live thousands of miles away. (I do have a son who live that far away and that's no fun either).
So, Marty, when you read this, know that I love you very much and wish for you and yours the very best! May God bless you real good and may you have many more birthdays that end with a "zero"!
