"Think about the best thing you can imagine. That's what my mom was like." Story People
Today would have been my mother's 97th birthday.
I'm thinking about you today mom! I carry you in my heart....and I think of you every time I tuck a kleenex in my sleeve.
And it seems fitting....that I spent the afternoon helping my other mom....in her new apartment!
Do you remember the Dick and Jane books? Here's a little story...in the style of these vintage books to celebrate Jane's birthday. (By the way....one of my many nicknames is Dick.....short for Dick Doer.)
This is Jane.
Jane lives at the beach.
Jane loves birds and flowers in all the rainbow colors.
Jane loves rainbow bottles too!
This is Dick.
She loves the beach too
She loves the beach too
and gets to visit Jane's beach sometimes.
Dick likes to make things.
Dick made a card with fabric flowers and a bird for Jane's birthday.
