My Mom
















I want to spotlight and honor my mom on this Mothers day and tell her how much she means to me.





Mom was always so giving especially around the holidays. She loved to see our faces as we opened up our gifts. She always took the time to get us just the right thing.





Mom always kept our home nice and she was a good cook. One of my favorite meals that she made was pork chops with Parmesan noodles. She made homemade bread, rolls and donuts sometimes. We always had fresh food from our garden year round because she canned which wasn't an easy job with a family of 9.





She always helped with my English home work. Mom loved and still does love to write mostly poetry. I love to read about her memories and stories of her childhood.





My mom plays the piano beautifully and she played the piano for church for many years. She was a great example to us girls who took lessons from Mrs. Peterson. I wish I could play as well as my mom.





Some of Moms favorite foods were raw peas. She spent many hours kneeling in the pea patch picking and eating. In the summer at lunch time she loved Pepsi right out of the glass bottle. Mom loves fresh garden tomatoes and she loves pastries and black licorice. But I know apples were never her favorite.





I remember all the fun vacations. Yellow stone, Grand Canyon, and the Redwood Forest just to name a few.





My mom has also loved cats. Many pictures I have are her with her cat. they were like her children.





Mom always took great care to celebrate our birthdays. I loved how she always had a store bought cake with our names written on it. And as we got older she would take us shopping and out to lunch. it made me feel special.





There are so may things I could say about my mom but it would take to many pages to say all I would like to say.





My mom is a wonderful lady our family has been blessed by her being in our lives.





We love you Mom and Grandma Love Monica, Jay,J.J., Sam, Rocky, Andy, Peter, Alex, Lacey, Bella, Seymour HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
