A Rare Personal Note
On rare, rare occasions, I post something personal here. This is it.
My adored damn-near-perfect daughter-in-law earned her Juris Doctorate with honors yesterday. She asked Bubba to hood her, and you could not have wiped the grin off his face with dynamite.
We did not have daughters of our own, so our sons gave us magnificent daughter-in-laws.
Congratulations, Elizabeth Ann, we love you more than you’ll ever know – until you have a perfect daughter-in-law of your own – then you’ll know.
By the way, even though I only post personal things about every 5 years, I will post something personal again next month when our Lisa Lynn completes her surgical residency. Yes, they are both doctors – one can fix you body and the other can fix your juris.
And now that I have embarrassed her completely, back to politics.
I love the fact that you have a damned near perfect daughter-in-law Juanita.
Happy Mother’s Day!
1Congratulations to all! Nice to hear some really GOOD news for a change! Best wishes!
2Damned-near-perfect anything is pretty good, but TWO damned-near-perfect daughters-in-law is a great and wondrous blessing. Congratulations to each of them for their academic accomplishments, and congratulations to YOU that you have them and your beloved menfolk in YOUR life.
3Many years ago when my girl was a young teen, she repeated the old joke about the good ones being taken. I told her, “Yep. They get taken by the other good ones.”
Looks like your family proves that rule!
4Congratulations to Elizabeth Ann. And. a Happy Mother’s Day to you, Juanita Jean.
5Mother’s Day is richer when you have a near perfect daughter-in-law. (Or two!) Blessings all around.
6Mothers Day dinner at JJs a.k.a the May Mensa meeting.
7I, too, have sons, no daughters. I not only have a near perfect daughter-in-law but also a near perfect son-in-love.
8Happy Mothers Day Juanita Jean. You make me laugh every day. Thanks!!!
Today is a real “downer” for me. This post makes me feel right with the world. Susan and Bubba – I share your happiness.
9Congratulations! My daughters are perfect and their partners are great guys–it overwhelming sometimes! Maybe it’s the name “Elizabeth Ann”–that’s my oldest daughter’s name as well! And talk about powerful women!! I’m proud of my children as well! Wooee!
10Have a great Mother’s Day–if you aren’t a mother–well, you were somebody’s child, and that makes you part of this day!!
Big smiles! Love to all. And as the oldest mother around, I told our kids today that even though some of us are mothers and some aren’t (well, obviously the guys aren’t) that we’re all in this together. And our oldest son said HEAR HEAR. So Juanita Jean, Mother of the Smartest DILs in the World, I hereby declare today the DAY OF THE BILLBOARD for Ms. Juanita Jean and Bubba and their smart kids. Honk when you drive by it.
11Oh, and just in case you get hung up on smilax in your back alley, remember you can make root beer from it. And I din’t even charge for that bit.
CONGRATULATIONS Elizabeth Ann, Juanita Jean and Bubba!!!
Ain’t it grand JJ when our sons bring us such wonderful daughters?!!
12Fantastic! Hey I am married to a Dr. (Ph D.) who happens to answer to “Elizabeth Ann”
13yea Susan and Bubba!!!
14Congratulations All! I love seeing successful people, especially when they’re MY people! Happy Mothers Day, Juanita Jean!
15Congratulations to all!
16We have three ex-DILs and two ex-SILs that we would trade for either one of you DILs and paint your house.
