Happy Birthday!

Cake by Sylvia Weinstock (If I ever get married I am hoping SW will do me the honor of creating my cake!)
Today the most amazing woman I know turns 52! My mother has taught me just about everything I know. She is one of the most intelligent, kindest and polite woman you will ever meet. She has moved nineteen times and given up her career to move to the third world country. She has started charities, worked at PBK and now a hedge fun. She is a wonderful christian and has been the republican chair for her county. She reads the Wall Street Journal and is a perfectionist. She loves all things British and is a true joy to be around. I am lucky to call her my mother and love her with my entire heart.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNYPINK!

My Mother, my friend so dear
throughout my life you're always near.
A tender smile to guide my way
You're the sunshine to light my day.

happy birthday to your mom.


wow... my parents have moved 8 different times because of my dad's work, and I thought that was a lot. Apparently I was wrong. Your mom must be incredibly loyal and selfless! Moving that frequently is definitely not for the faint of heart.
