April 15. Most people remember this date because it is tax day, but I get to remember this day because it is my Mom’s birthday!  For those of you who do not know, my mother is the rock and foundation of our family. She is the steadying force that keeps us together. Honestly, there are so many things I could write about my mom, her love of flowers, gardening, canning, quilting, and sewing; she has taught me so many things over the years. She is also the one who cut all the heads off the chickens when we would butcher them every summer on the farm…that will leave an impression on a young boy. If any of you are lucky enough to see her today, wish her a happy birthday for me, please!<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids\u2019 lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, and 2-4 get handwritten napkins.<\/p>\n

Quotes: <\/strong><\/p>\n

1. \u201cSocialism always attacks 3 basic social institutions: religion, the family, & private property. Religion, because it offers a rival authority to the state; the family, because it means a rival loyalty to the state; & property, because it means material independence of the state.”<\/em> – Joe Sobran<\/p>\n

2. “You are free to make choices. You are not free to escape the consequences.\u201d<\/em> – Howard G. Hendricks<\/p>\n

3. \u201cOur greatest weariness comes from work not done.\u201d<\/em> –  Eric Hoffer<\/p>\n

4. “A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.”<\/em>Scottish Philosopher (Hat tip, Mom.)<\/p>\n

Bonus Quote: \u201cThe cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea.\u201d<\/em> –  Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen)<\/p>\n
