1/ Home w my 84 y/o Mom for 1st time since 2019 because of #COVID19…She raised 3 of us alone on $17k/yr as a lit teacher after dad left. A few things she’s said that are hilarious... 
2/ Today we saw an classmate from my grade school & Mom didn’t remember her.
Me: “Mom, she’s really smart, wise, kind, & gentle of heart.”
Mom: “So I guess that’s why you didn’t hang out with her much.”
😳 Zing!

3/ Mom thinking 🤔 ...“Wes, remember when I got us a tent to take you kids camping? I had you set it up in the backyard to make sure we knew how. Then I thought, ‘Hmm, this is good...why don’t you 3 just live out here from now on!’”
4/ Mom and talked a bit about Christmas’s last. “Wes, remember how sad you were when Santa didn’t bring the submarine you asked for? I took you to a hardware store to buy WOOD 🪵🤷♂️ to make your own. You sure did sink fast in the bayou, but you outswam the gators!”
True story!!
True story!!

I love ❤️ my mom. She’s rough and tumble. As a teacher she directed the Shakespeare in town & her students went on to write good books (& dedicate them to her!), design rockets, and become University Deans. Many still come by monthly! Not shabby. Go, Mom.
