Birthday Wishes

Today is a special day for a couple of people I know: one, a fine son-in-law; and, two, a very dear friend and past co-worker. I do hope that both of them have a great day and many, many more. Our son-in-law is a great one, not a son-in-law like some talk about; but, one who is always willing to help in any way especially to his in-laws, shows love and dedication to his wife and children, works hard to support his family in a very comfortable manner, loves for his in-laws to go camping with them (in other words, he doesn't mind having us around and makes no serious jokes about his in-laws); and, he makes himself at home whenever he comes over with the children (or anytime he stops by). In other words, he's a special son-in-law whom we believe that our daughter made a fine choice! Happy Birthday, M!

A special friend/co-worker is another person who cares for others, obvious through her treatment of us. She is a most giving, caring person who will sacrifice much for her friends and family, and for her pup. I remember when I first met her, she had the cutest mina bird (I think it was) and she had him talking a lot. I even remember his name: Herschel! MLM has a personality that will win friends easily. She's a very hard worker and has been recognized statewide for her talents. We both left the private college life to join the public administration system at the same time and have been fast friends ever since; however, we have been remiss in spending much time together since I am retired. I would like for that to change because I do miss her company, her sense of humor, her intelligence, and just MLM. Happy Birthday, dear friend!!
