Well, I did well for a while, acknowledging birthdays! And, of course, I had to get behind on a very important one - - my mom's! Now, it's hard to find the words when it comes to moms so I decided to get the help of someone who is never at a loss for words - - Little Miss Bethany! I recently got one of those "getting to know you" emails from a friend and thought I would use that as inspiration for asking Bethany a few questions about her grandma so I could use them as a little tribute. So, following is a profile of a very special lady...through the eyes of a three-year-old.
All about Grandma Trudie:

Well, there you have it...my mom! I almost wish Bethany weren't so intelligent and I could have gotten a few more crazy answers out of her! Haha, but one thing I will say is that she loved just sitting down and talking about Grandma! Her eyes lit up with every answer she got to give. It just goes to show how special her grandma is to her. I am pretty sure we all feel the same way. :) I wish I could give a better tribute but, it's one of those things that there just aren't the right words. She has always, and continues to, do so much for me, the rest of our family, friends, neighbors, and everyone she comes in contact with. Her example has just about laid a map for me in how to live a successful and happy life. I don't know what else I can say! I'm sure anyone with the best mom in the world knows...you can never tell them quite what they mean to you because there just aren't words!
So, Mom, happy late birthday. And, take a moment to pat yourself on the back for being the only thing or person to ever leave me without words!
We love you!!!

Hey Mandy!! My sis-in-law took our pictures when she was in town from Idaho. I bet she would totally line something up for you the next time she is here. Her photography blog is on my blog under Cheryl Bennett Photography.
We should email so that we can catch up on everything!! Here's my address...

PS I TOTALLY hear you on venturing out to more things once your kids are older and you get braver!! Notice that my hubby is WITH me, I am the same way! Though it is getting a little easier now that I KNOW they can stay by my side (which took a long time!). :)
Yeah!!Happy Birthday Trudy!!
