Good morning! Today is the big game in Tampa Bay but even more important is my most favorite Great Aunt in the whole world is celebrating her 90th birthday today and I wanted to share with everyone here. Here is an email my Mom sent me the other day about her...
Jeannie, I am so thankful for you in my life. I am thinking back to when you were a baby, the first traumatic time when you had an asthmatic attack, had trouble breathing, and I needed to get you to the doctor (I didn't have a driver's license in those days). I called Grampa Hensz/Chris, and they said, "No," they couldn't transport us to the doctor. Auntie Anne showed up in a pickup truck. There was never a time when she wasn't available. She also never spoke ill about your dad's father or stepmother, even though she and Uncle Jim were the ones who showed up at Gus's high school ball games when he was a star athlete. In fact, whenever your dad was headed for school in a wrinkled shirt, Auntie Anne would take him aside and iron it for him. He would eat dinner there enroute home from school, knowing that it wouldn't be pleasant at the dinner table on Cliff Street with a critical stepmother and a dad unwilling to take his side.
So it's fitting to extend a tribute to her. The only reason she and Uncle Jim didn't come to MN for our wedding was that she was pregnant with Mark. They more than made up for it by taking us in, and Uncle Jim employed your dad as a painter with him until he waited to qualify for the police dept. We were so blessed to have them in our lives as we had to transition from the Air Force to civilian life.
Oh, and one more bit of good news...7 lbs.!!
Coffee with sugar in the raw and soymilk so far......happy Sunday!

Unfortunately there will be Super Bowl snacks here but I'm going to try and not go too overboard.
