• To My First Born Daughter, Heather.......

                                           

  
  

  I tried to find a Happy Birthday icon to post for Heather's birthday......Her 30th birthday by the way!!!  I finally had to go to her site and "lift" one from her since I found out that I could not navigate through Bigoo like she does.  This is going be posted a day late since she spirited me away early this afternoon for lunch and then to "help" her husband select an appropriate gift for her.  She wanted something she could use but put a $50 ceiling on the gift.  We searched high and low and discovered that Heather is really hard to buy for.  Most everything she really wants ....she has already obtained it or it is not on the market yet.  She has most of the kitchen gadgets and you can't buy her clothing since she is like me......we have to try it on first since it can look great on a hanger but look HORRIBLE on us.  Jewelry got exclude since $50 is not much to work with for nice jewelry since we both wanted her to have something really nice.  Finally found a steam cleaner that was professional grade and decided it was the best we could find.......and useful too since they will be moving at the end of the month and will probably need it.  I called Heather to see how she liked the gift.........at first she thought it was a vacuum cleaner and was wondering why we would get her something she already has.  Finally realized what it actually was and is now discovering all the uses she can do with it.  She is loving it more and more now!  It is amazing to me that Heather is now 30 years old.  I remember when she was born while I was stationed in Germany.  Everyone kept telling me how beautiful she was.  To me she was beautiful since she was my little girl but it was not until her hair grew in enough to be feminine that I truly realized just how beautiful she was.  As a baby, she would ignore women and saved all her flirty smiles for the men and the men in my housing area just loved her to death.  As she grew, she became my right hand daughter.  I am the first born of three daughters and I was my Mother's right hand girl and Heather became mine.  It is a position with a lot of responsibililties but it also has many privileges too.  There is a special bond between us beside just being Mother and Daughter.......we were a Team.  Not friends.......that comes later since friends are plentiful......Mothers are not!  I would have posted this sooner but Heather stopped by after work and it did not seem right to be working on it while she was here so I had to wait until she left.  Which, of course, was after her birthday was over.  She is having her birthday party this Sunday so we will all get to sing Happy Birthday to her then.  I tried to sing it to here just after midnight minutes into 12 July but silly girl left her cell phone on vibrate.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HEATHER!!!!!
