This lovely card was sent to me today by Rich's cousins in California

I married an English major. Which meant that I got to type a lot of papers, and this was before computers and backspacing! I jokingly said that since I married an English major I expected a sonnet to be wrote about me. Well, Rich has finally written me a poem. He says it's not a good poem ~ but I love it!

Always busy, you’re never still
Loving nature, hiking the hills
Gazing at the stars in the sky,
Deep faith in God, not asking why
Your sacred place is Camp Shalom
Your gift is decorating home
You have a daily Sacred Grove
The temple is your treasure trove
Best daughter—to your parents (and mine)
Never a matriarch so fine
Blessed grandmother to seven—
Daughter of God, makes home a heaven
These things remind me who you are
My friend, my love, my JPR
It's all good!

And since my best friend, Heather, is the female version on my husband. She confessed today when we were walking to having written a poem about me, too. She hasn't shared it with me yet, but I hope to publish it here soon.
It's all good!

A beautiful card and verse. I told Rich he described you to a "T". I hope to see Heather's soon. You have blessed many people's lives, I think the love being given to you now is just " the bread being returned" to you. Thanks for being a special daughter.
I also meant to tell you that I loved what you did in the bedrooms downstairs. I love all your decorating ideas & your daughters are following after you. How did I get left out of that talent? At least I can say I keep things up & fairly organized.
That was so sweet, thanks for sharing!
The card and the poem are a perfect description of you! Well said and beautifully written to one who knows the art of living a wonderful life.
Oscar Wildes words perfectly describe you. You are beautiful inside and out.
