My sweet "Illinois Mom" had a milestone birthday yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures to share. I take a lot of pictures, but for some reason, I don't have any of her. I didn't want this occasion to pass without highlighting some of the great memories we've made together (even with the lack of photos.)
- We have baked cookies and other assorted goodies together at Christmas
- We laugh together...a LOT
- We drove to Chicago to shop, eat, and to see a one man show
- We took cooking classes together
- We planned a wedding together
- We have spent much time talking about our lives with one another
- We are in a book club together
- We used to work together...before she retired
- She planned a trip to see both of her daughters after she retired and I excitedly listened to the details
- She has three beautiful grandchildren and I love hearing stories about them and seeing their pictures
- She has two daughters, who I don't know personally, yet I feel like I know them because of everything she has told me
- She loves to garden and has the most beautiful yard....I don't garden and have a black thumb, but I love looking at hers!
