Yesterday I was slightly too busy watching basketball to blog, but what I should have made note of was yet another mother in our family who had a birthday! Chad's biological mom turned "double nickels" yesterday--happy birthday, Joanie! Back-to-back mom birthdays at our house make the birthdays very easy to remember!Joanie is an artistic and creative person who also happens to be a talented gardener/botanist. She loves flowers, loves good coffee, and loves to walk for exercise. She is a very patient and compassionate woman who exhibited both of these qualities last year when she made 1,000 origami paper cranes for my mom Sherry during her cancer treatment. Her diligence and determination also paid off a few years ago when she finished her Bachelor's degree at Wichita State.
Joanie lives in Wichita, but she and her husband Rory are currently house shopping in Lawrence. She is a terrific mother-in-law and I feel very fortunate that she happens to be mine!
