MOM

Grandma, mom, mechanic, and friend

A connoisseur of meatloaf skillet pie,

Bat as a biker you're only spinning your wheel

So you don't even have to wave bye - bye.

The book on you is your a best seller,

Not a mystery but one of good funnin',

But when push comes to shove, you can cut it

Yard by yard you keep the motor runnin'.

Your a blessing from the Father above

Like so many moments from Kodak,

We just want to say that we love you

And give you a well deserved pat on the back!

This was written for Christmas, with a little tongue in cheek.  To explain some of the "jabs".  At 75 she wanted some exercise so first tried a stationary bike - no :o), but settled for moving the lawn with a push mower, which she did very well.  She also loved to read, especially mysteries and could make a "mean" meatloaf skillet pie. :o)  Us 3 kids had a "one in a million" mom, who was a "jack of all trades" for not only us growing up, but for the whole neighborhood. :o)  She never had an easy life, but she was always there for us and my sister and I miss her very much.
