Margaret

Today is my mother-in-law's birthday, she is 75 years old. She lives in South Jordan, UT, on two acres in a house that she and her husband built over 40 years ago. I love her, and I wanted to let people know how wonderful she is.

She is a very generous and caring person. Not one person could ever speak ill of her. Currently she is a temple worker with my father- in- law in the South Jordan Temple. We miss her and hopefully in June, she will feel good enough to come here. Her name is Margaret and she is half Danish. Her family came from Holland as Saints. She has the most beautiful blue eyes and the sweetest smile. She really is like what a picture perfect grandma is suppose to be like.

Jason is the youngest of 12 kids. Four of those kids were adopted. Her heart is so big, that she litteraly had foster kids through all of Jason's life. He knew no different, he shared everything, even underwear. Two of the adopted where mentally handicapped. This was no challenge to her, she treated them as her own and I didn't even know they were adopted until a while later. She loves old horror and suspense movies, and books. She can also make anything from scratch whether it was food, clothing, or decor. She agrees with everyone, about everything, because she does not like contention.

She loves loves animals, and currently she has seven cats, three birds, 2 horses, and a bunch of dogs,and fish. Over the years, she had goats, pigs, turkey's, ducks, geese, chickens, a rooster, and a lamb she even let in the house. The city will no longer let her have her farm animals, after the horses are gone, she is not allowed to have anymore. Mainly because the neighbors have all sold their plots around them to home builders, and the home builders want their land. They live across a elementary school, and a church, that is beside that. Sounds like the perfect life huh? It's all because she made it that way. Jason's mom made it a big plus to marrying him.
