Perspective

I have spent the last few days hosting my mom who is 83 and her friend who is 89. Now, understand, these are very feisty ladies. My mom is still driving her motorhome, very competently and her friend can out-fish most men I know. Watching them definitely gives me a perspective. My New Year's wish is that we all are as active as they are at their ages. : )

Your Mom Rocks!

Your mom is ?83?! I thought she was in her mid-seventies.

She was a wonderful conversationalist -- I'm not sure which story was the most interesting; when she was a female truck driver in an era when women weren't supposed to drive trucks, when she followed ranchers in a jeep as the "chuck-wagon cook", or when she discouraged someone who was going to "liberate" her horse trailer by loading her rifle.

My only disappointment with her visit was that I didn't get the "Mom! Don't shoot! It's me!" story from her perspective.

Re: Your Mom Rocks!

Yeah, she's pretty amazing. She also was a foreman in a machine shop during the war, rode a harley before she drove a car, broke horses, remodeled every house she ever lived with little to no help and six or seven years ago, helped me sheet rock my addition. I have a lot to live up to. Here's hoping I can. Thanks again for hosting us at a great tea!
