The Amazing Hippie


This is the woman who gave birth to Rie, after a pregnancy which had moments that were out of an episode of "Married With Children". They were both born on the same day at the exact same time, now how is that for a birthday present! This made 5 generations of women in this line ( Rie, Hippie, Vona G, Grandma Orr, and the always entertaining Grandma Spice). Hippie is the glue that holds our family together. Not only is she in school full time, she controls Rie when I'm at work, runs the house, cooks, and to top it off she has to deal with the stubburdness that is me. I have to also say we are all Leo's born within 2 days of each other, and not to mention the Irish temperament Rie and I share. With all of this in the mix we can have some battles in the house that rival the "shock and aww" campaign in Iraq. The best part of this, is the making up which eventually follows. Hippie will always put her family and friends ahead of herself, she has a positive attitude, she exceeds the definition of mother, I'm lucky enough to be a part of her life every day, and these are just a few of the reasons why I love her!
