This "Ode" is for my ode Sister, Bev..aka "Aunt B" on her birthday...

Just a couple of reasons why we love Bev...
  • She turns the "mundane" into a party!
  • She took me to the Cayman Islands
  • She is very generous....you can't "out-give her..."
  • She laughs at my jokes....sometimes reallllly hard, even!
  • She comes to all my major life events....(kids birthdays...births...and even massages me through them!)
  • She is always encouraging.
  • She's not afraid to admit her weakness.
  • She'll always know the latest and greatest craft....or health food craze.
  • She shows my kids soo much love...and fun!
  • She takes my kiddos camping..even if its just in the yard!
  • She'll take a reallllly long road trip with you...and make it seem like it's fun...as long as there's good snacks..."it's all about the snacks!'
  • She's not afraid to try something new.
  • She can drive a Harley...:)
  • She takes care of people and anticipates their needs
  • She always makes us feel super welcome in her home
  • She gets excited about "juicing" things :)
  • She lets my kids call her "Aunt B"
