happy birthday, frau

Thankfully, when she was commanded, she said Yes to my brother.

Hoorah!

She's taught me a lot, the short time she's been in the family, whether through late night chats, iTunes and Name that Tune (Silly Brahams Requiem), or through how she chooses to live her life.

Things I know are important to her:

Family - An effort is always made to attend where possible family gatherings. Where gathering is not possible, at minimum, a card, but most always there is a thoughtful gift included.

Music - A large variety is included on that iTunes playlist. Bluegrass Thunder. Organ. Violin. Piano. Need I go on? It's not just listening, but appreciating, and using.

Books - I don't remember how many boxes I was told were filled with books, but betwixt the both of them, they filled the UHaul tight.

Writing - If any of you want to read well written, thought out posts, hers is a fine example of writing.

Education - The last three play into the part of always learning, and wanting to know more, in any form. Whether it be the current pursuit of French, Bislamic sit-sit, quilting, angel food cake making, etc. etc.

I could easily go on, but the hour draws late. So in closing: Bon anniversaire!

Thank you for your birthday greetings! I had a nice day and even managed to fit in a little cheese.
