My beautiful Mother. At work as a Secretary...about 24 yrs. old.
My Mom with my brother, Steve, and me. We were "the two little kids". No. 4 and 5 of five. My Mother had me relatively late in life. I'll always be grateful for that. Every Wednesday I have the privilege of spending the day with her. We go grocery shopping, to the hair salon, to activities at her assisted-living facility, out to lunch, Dr. appointments, work on sewing projects, etc.
Today we went down to the clubhouse to hear a Seniors singing group perform. It was adorable. Lots of show tunes.
Speaking of adorable. Look at my Mom sweetly looking on.
This cutie played a mean Polka. : )
The choir director and Marge, a resident, danced while the fellow played another Polka. Fun was had all around. Marge is as cute as a pickle!
Two Wednesdays ago...having pizza at Costco. Still so beautiful!

Thanks for posting this, Mary Lou! I've always thought Grandmother is so full of class and grace -- I love seeing those old pictures of her when her body was younger! She has always been so nice to me and welcomed me right into the family. My Canadian grandma used to love going to Costco to eat, too -- fries and gravy instead of pizza, though! :)

ReplyDeleteI miss her so much. She lived with us the last 4 years of her life. I am so grateful for that time we had together. Your mom looks beautiful outside and I'll bet inside too. Mimi
I also love spending time with my mom! I could never measure up to how wonderful she is!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet. You are so lucky to still have your mom. Ours passed away almost 5 years ago. She was so special. Cherish every day you have.
