Happy Mother’s Day…
…to the mom who knew I’d be “trouble” the moment I was born when my hair was so maroon it looked purple under the hospital lights (surprise! never a dull moment from the get-go!) and later when I learned how to walk at 9 months, before there were shoes tiny enough to fit my feet (Ahead of the curve! I’m ready!)…
…who taught me how to bake from scratch, who made a lot of our clothes…
…who made all of our Halloween costumes…
…even the ones we regretted then (ahem, me) or would regret later (ahem, Lianna)…
…and continues to do more for me than I could ever fit into one blog post or a hundred…

I love you! Thanks so much for the thoughts, photos, and memories. You and your sister have been the best gifts to me. Both of you are wonderful, precious, presents that I continue to enjoy, to discover, to guide, to love, and to share. Thank you for the best Mother’s Day presents-you two! I’m so proud of both of you and all of your amazing talents, your hard work, and your accomplishments. You’re the best daughters! Keep surprising me with your latest endeavors! I love you, Lianna! I love you, Alicia! Tons of love, Mom

Lovely,
I am surprised you could limit your photos to these. Back in the day, when we did a lot together, our families got “doubles” of every “roll” of film and I have a lot of costumes, hikes and trips. So when you post on Father’s Day and can’t find that picture of the toothpick.. or was it a paper …model dome sphere, that hung from the beach house ceiling –send me an email…
