For a few days I'll have this photo of Queen Mum n'me posted on my profile page in addition to here. What a twinkle in her eye...and what a peach...a twinkly peach! lol Oh, and catch the notebook on the sofa...it contained board posts, messages from TLOS inhabitants, poetry, our songs, Junkie Thinkin', etc. Our gift to her for the momentous occasion. You folks were all right there with me that day.
On his WebMD entry Mike noted her sense of humor...right on, Mike! A number of times over the years she & I had phone conversations...the first half of each spent bemoaning our current particular fates (too hot/too cold/construction workers & jackhammers right outside my window/griping about the new board format/politics/politicians/kids/etc., etc., etc)(or read, "waaah, waaah, waaah!"). The last half of those conversations lightened up considerably, aka , "Didja hear the one about the.....???" Along with smart-ass comments on anything/everything, and pshaw-ing our current particular fates we'd finally say good-bye teary-eyed from laughing our heads off.
Sure beats the alternative, right? Right, Arleen!! LOL
Have a great smokefree Saturday, everyone...our Queen would've wanted it so.
