My beautiful mom is a treasure. She's been named Volunteer of the Year in her hometown of Plains, Montana for her work at the local nursing home. Once a week, she and a few other ladies volunteer their time to wash, dry and style the hair of the elderly ladies in the nursing home. They are affectionately called the Hair Ladies...but we like "Beauty Babes" better!So I wanted her and her ladies to be in the Sanders County Fair parade. My dad has a flatbed he could pull with his pickup and my Jack wanted to throw out the candy. We were going to get signs made for the truck doors. But now, none of the ladies seem to be available so my mom wants to drop the idea!! I have called my dad and told him to put in an entry for the Volunteers of the Year anyway. If nothing else, Jack will walk the route wearing a sandwich board that says, "My Grandma is a Beauty Babe" while passing out candy. My mom is so giving and generous. I hope to be like her when I "grow up"! She puts together trays of homemade cookies and goodies for all her volunteers on their birthdays, she takes huge goody trays to the day room of the nursing home for the residents. She is a living, breathing example of hospitality. If you happen to be in Plains, Montana over Labor Day weekend, come on down for the parade and see my Beauty Babe mom!!    Blessings!!
