Madre Tribute

Karen Stewart

I have been meaning to pay tribute to the most hard-working, amazing woman I know. My mother. She has the most successful Real Estate business in San Carlos, Mexico, and I will go out on a limb and even say in the whole State of Sonora, MX since she is merging with another company that states THEY are the best, so why do they want to merge with my mom, huh? Hmmmm... She really is so talented and beautiful. She even got the "Pretty Girl of the Day" in San Carlos yesterday and her picture posted on their website and everything! woohoo! :) I'm so proud. She is so great that she doesn't even know it. Isn't that always the case with outstanding people? They have no clue. So here you go mom. You, my dear, are AMAZING!

Here is her website : www.seaside-realty.net

Some quirks that make her so fun:

She likes to punctuate with a lot of periods at the end of her sentences...
She has called me 'Darlin' for as long as I can remember
She has a wicked, twisted (literally) backhand in tennis that I have never seen anyone duplicate
She is sooo forgiving it is scary sometimes (can someone be too Christlike?)
She sometimes has a little snort when she laughs REALLY hard that makes me love being around her. You know you are funny when you get the little snort.
She loves glue guns. She has glued things to the wall that you can't even imagine. Clocks, etc.
She emails and checks her email more than I do.
She is a closet piano player and is better than she thinks she is.
She can literally do a million things at one time. She can watch a show, talk on the phone, eat, check her planner, and quilt all at the same time.
She uses those fat pens that have four colors in them and color codes everything in her planner
After she writes something down, she goes back (out of habit) and gives them curls, goes over the words again to make them darker and more cursive like. It's hard to explain, but it's a cute habit.
She uses Neosporin on her face every night. Did I let her beauty secret out of the bag?
She doesn't like to drink milk so much, though she grew up on a dairy farm. weird, huh?
She has always loved ice. Especially the little ice cubes. She used to and still does chew them and puts them in her drink always. Heaven forbid anyone not refill the ice cube trays in our house. It was a sin.
She used to be allergic to strawberries. I have no idea when she grew out of it.
She loves palm trees so much that at last count she has 58 palm trees either living, drawn, or pictured in, on, or around her house and office.


If choosing between anything and her kids, her kids would win out hands down. Now THAT is love! :)
