My precious Mom celebrated her birthday yesterday! It's never too late to send her your best!Top 10 memories of Mom (as of 2007):
10. Camping trips with our crazy homeschool group in Florida: picture 5 moms with 3x as many kids running through the swamps and chasing racoons.
9. Day-long piano trips to Dekalb, IL; visits to the confectionary
8. Getting my hair washed in the kitchen sink while listening to stories of Eustace and the Dragon
7. Long road trips in the big blue van with frequent stops in random places: Carl Sandburg's house, old-fashioned weavers, cracker towns, etc.
6. Whenever my students were putting on a play, my mom would come and help host the cast party at my apartment. I would come back from an exhausting night to a home trasnformed and filled with treats!
5. Her special trip to New Mexico to help me choose a wedding dress
4. The way she spies a hawk when she's driving and gets so excited you'd think it was the first time she saw one.
3. Her countless cookie-boxes and care-packages!
2. The cards and letters she still makes and sends frequently with her prayers.
1. Her constant example of Biblical femininity at home, in her neighborhood, and in her church. I remember it daily.
We love you Mom! Here's to many more memories!
