Ma is such a very special mom to my Hubby and she loves me and has been the best mother-in-law I could ask for. She became \u201cma\u201d to me when Hubby and I were dating and I\u2019ve called her ma just like Hubby from that moment on.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: arial;\"><span style=\"font-size:100%;\">The first day we were there we took ma to Wal-Mart where she just loves to shop. And then ordered pizza as that\u2019s what she wanted for dinner. The next day she was up for us taking her to the Steak House down the street and that\u2019s exactly what we did. We sat with her and visited and reminisced once again about old times. I never met Hubby\u2019s father but for some reason, I feel like I know him just a bit from the stories I\u2019m told. He was a tease and loved to joke and ma tells the best stories about him. Pa passed away in 1995 just before Hubby and I met and I can tell ma still misses him after all these years.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: arial;\"><span style=\"font-size:100%;\">She used to play Nintendo up until just a couple years ago but now her vision has failed and it\u2019s too hard for her to use the controller and play at the same time. She keeps herself busy by embroidering quilts and is a part of the \u201cRed Hats Society\u201d. She loves keeping up with different functions and activities and even asks Hubby from time to time to write articles for her to publish in the local paper.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: arial;\"><span style=\"font-size:100%;\">Hubby is her baby boy and she calls him when she needs thread, stamps, or whatever and let me tell ya, he\u2019s her Baby Boy on the spot and fills whatever order she places. He loves ma so much and dotes over her like a good loving son should. That\u2019s just one of the many, many things I love about my honey.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Comic Sans MS';\"><span style=\"font-size:100%;\"><span style=\"font-family: arial;\">That wraps up our time with ma<\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial;\"> and here\u2019s a picture below of Hubby with ma. He always gives ma the whisker treatment on the neck and I always get a kick out of her jokingly yelling out his name!<\/span><o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/R45p-8PgPHI\/AAAAAAAAAPo\/Qc-mMYbV9iw\/s1600-h\/Bobby%26Ma.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/R45p-8PgPHI\/AAAAAAAAAPo\/Qc-mMYbV9iw\/s400\/Bobby%26Ma.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156175153429757042\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><link rel=\"File-List\" href=\"file:\/\/\/C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5CLAUREN%7E1%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml\"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>  <w:worddocument>   <w:view>Normal<\/w:View>   <w:zoom>0<\/w:Zoom>   <w:punctuationkerning\/>   <w:validateagainstschemas\/>   <w:saveifxmlinval>false<\/w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>   <w:ignoremixedcontent>false<\/w:IgnoreMixedContent>   <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false<\/w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>   <w:compatibility>    <w:breakwrappedtables\/>    <w:snaptogridincell\/>    <w:wraptextwithpunct\/>    <w:useasianbreakrules\/>    <w:dontgrowautofit\/>   <\/w:Compatibility>   <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4<\/w:BrowserLevel>  <\/w:WordDocument> <\/xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>  <w:latentstyles deflockedstate=\"false\" latentstylecount=\"156\">  <\/w:LatentStyles> <\/xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]>  <![endif]--><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: \"Times New Roman\";\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mylivesignature.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/signatures.mylivesignature.com\/54486\/282\/912326E072E0D684DBBFDF228FB0CE16.png\" style=\"border: none; background: transparent;\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow, my second post of the day, I&#8217;ll say I&#8217;m doing pretty good since I haven&#8217;t posted in quite some time.
