Well MommaT Turned 86 Today... [View all]
Which means she was born in the year of the Great Crash. 1929...
Grew up in Oak Park, Il.
Worked at a Zenith plant as a teen.
Was accepted to Smith College and attended until she met the love of her life (my dad)... Old School.
Funny thing... they were second cousins... And when my grandfathers got together they had a family song where the chorus was, "...And I'm My Own Grandpa."
Really messed with the family tree thing... ya know?
Anywho... I've posted about her exploits in the past, and my dads...
WWII Marine who flew B-25's in the South Pacific... later forward Radar Installation in Korea.
Mom spent Wed-Fri in the hospital because of a fall... no broken bones, just some bruising.
But they wanted to monitor her and make sure she was safe to return home.
And home she is...
Just made steak and Spaghetti Carbonara for her... and she is happy.
She has pasted BOTH Hillary and Bernie stickers on the mailbox out front. When I asked her about that, she said...
"Bernie in the Primaries... and if we have to Hillary in the General.
This is the same lady, who when in a fit of frustration, I said I was switching to "Independent" because politicians only care about the Independent vote...
Well... she gave me the stink-eye and said, "Nooo, YOU are a Democrat... fight for which Democrat you want to be."
Good counsel... and I'm glad you're home mom... and thankful for everything else as well.
Happy Birthday Mom (Grace).
