My mother clearly put a lot of thought into choosing just the right card for her youngest child’s birthday.
See what she wrote on the inside.
But the best part is my dad’s signature. Not simply, “Dad,” but “Your Dad.”
Good to know he’s distinguishing himself from that Other Dad, whoever he is. Good thing since that other guy didn’t even send me a lousy card!
In other news, Four Columns of a Balanced Life posted Ten of my Favorite Tips from 101 Tips for a Happier Marriage and asked me to spread the word. Please be so kind as to click the link. He did a nice job putting it together. Show ‘im some love. Consider it a birthday gift, from my Other Blog Friend. 😉
BK out.

Totally. And my mom is in an “I’m too old to care” phase of her life. I can’t blame her. I’m 30 years younger and have already reached that point. 🙂

If the card from my parents had been sappy, I’d think they’d been replaced by imposters. 😛

I don’t generally do that, so I may not be the right person to ask. I know there’s a reblog button, and then you can maybe copy and paste the first couple of paragraphs and then include a link to read more?
