Me and Mom
February 2, 2024
Aunt Bonnie sent me a sweet card for my birthday last week, and in it was this photo of mom and me… taken.. I’m not sure when! Early 1990s, I’m thinking.. perhaps at a celebration lunch for Eric and Staci prior to their wedding? Not sure why I think that…but there ya go. Don’t take any of that to the bank.
Anyway… this is the pic and I LOVE it. I actually look a bit like mom.. and I like that! I’ve never really seen the similarities, but they’re there. 🙂
The photo’s not yet set in a frame… it’s just leaning up against this one (it can’t live in this frame because under that photo is my all-time fave pic of Peter). For now, the photo’s sitting on my desk, the one I got from mom’s house, after she passed away and we distributed all the goods. I was eager to have this desk. We all got an assortment of owls, all part of her collection, which used to sit on this very desk in mom and dad’s entryway (I acquired about 6-8 owls in the distribution.. this parliament (like that?) is some of them). The lamp (its base just visible in this picture) was also part of the package. I love this lamp.
