Happy Birthday to the World's Best Brother-in-Law

from the

World's Best Sisters-in-Law

"he thinks my tractor's sexy.."

Once upon a time, there was this silly red-headed divorced crazy girl with blue eyes and four kids (!), a double-shift job as a waitress, no visible means of support, a junker of a car, a strong Irish family 2000 miles away and in the middle of everything all the time.

At the same time, there was this handsome blue-eyed son-of-a-boss (you thought I was going to say something else?) who was single, care-free and owed a darling green Jeep named Jennifer (should I ask??) He was the chef, the manager, the "bosses son". And he was NOT allowed to date the "help"....

But this silly red-head waitress and this handsome man became enamored with each other. Against the handsome man's better judgment and all common sense- and against the "rules" of "management" the handsome man started passing the silly red-headed waitress notes through the kitchen window.."want to go out...?"

Smiling, she nodded yes...and against the handsome man's better judgment and all common sense, and TOTALLY against the rules, they fell in love.

Fast forward to today - the handsome man is even more handsome, his blue eyes sparkling as he smiles, which is often. His laugh is contagious and true..

The silly red-headed waitress is now a gray-haired-counting-the-days-to-retirement (1040 and counting...) Grandmother..who is still totally enamored with the handsome man - maybe even more as his hair grays, and his blue eyes become even bluer, and those same little children that call her Grammie call him Papa..Grandpa, G-Pa...

And his blue eyes sparkle as he sees their smiles, hears their voices... and he loves their Grammie...

Today is Mr. B's birthday. And I have the extreme pleasure of spending another year with this handsome, blue eyed man. And against anyone's better judgment, this man lives and loves and laughs for all of us....

So here's to Mr. B, my best friend, my husband, the Grandfather to my Grandchildren and the best father to a silly red-headed waitresses' 4 kids.....

Happy Birthday Honey...We all love you..
