Today is Mimi’s Birthday! As one of my few regular blog-readers, I hope she is happy to know we are wishing her a very happy birthday from 6,732 miles away! (Hooray for the internet!)
Mimi is really the best Mimi anyone could ask for! I have a million memories of wonderful summers spent at Mimi’s house, eating popsicles outside and watching birds splashing in the birdbath, swinging on the swingset, or sitting with Mimi while she read to us about “Thunder-cake” when we would get scared of a thunderstorm looming on the horizon. I also have countless memories of sleepovers at Mimi’s, fighting over the fuzzy bear slippers, playing games, and best of all, that wonderful time right before bed where we would all say, “Mimi, tell us a story…” And what made Mimi’s stories so exciting and special was that they were her stories, real stories from the past. We loved hearing about life on the farm, about riding into town to sell eggs, and making biscuits early in the mornings before the sun came up. And we also loved hearing stories about our mom when she was a little girl, and even funny stories about things we had said or done when we were little kids. Oh how we loved to hear Mimi’s stories!
I’m already looking forward to seeing Mimi this summer! We always have a ball together! Thanks for being such a wonderful grandmother! Happy Birthday!
I love you!
