Things I Didn't Know About My Mom

So, I know it's been a little bit, September was an unusual month with not a whole lot going on outside of the home. I've developed some new fun quirks, but this entry is not about me, it's about my most wonderful Mom. When my Aunt April sent my Mom this little survey, she gave it some thought and thought it would be good for me to get to know her ten years ago. She's very thoughtful. I love her. With my reading skills not quite as developed as my ability to throw things, I had to get some help with the list, but I've found there's more to my Mom than meets the eye, as my Dad would say.

Here's Mom!
