We visited my mom yesterday. It's always fun going up to see her. We laugh, we talk, we have great cheesesteaks for lunch. I'm thankful to still have her in my life. She's an amazing woman and a fantastic mother -- one that NOTHING gets by -- who at 85 is more active than some people half her age. She sings in three choirs, belongs to a political discussion group, the Italian Club, plays baci and wii bowls.

Very cute story of your birth! I have a cherry story too that I have not shared on my blog but will one day. Not as happy as your cherry story though.

Hi Kathy, Sounds like your Mom is a Go-Getter.... I love to see people like her -who are still active and living life to its fullest even in their 80's and 90's... AWESOME.
Sounds like your Grandmother was a 'pistil' also.... Wonder if your grandchildren will say the same thing about you sometime????? Bet so..
Hugs,
Betsy
What a great story. You're grandmother (and mother) sounds like quite a lady. I'll never look at a bowl of cherries the same way again.
This is a great story. It is so cool that your mom carries on the tradition of giving you cherries on your birthday.
Your mom sounds like a treasure. We are so fortunate to have our moms at this stage in life.
I love the bowl of cherry story - so warm and sweet. Glad your Mom is so active. Wow! She has more energy than I do - great for her!!
Wonderful story. I loved this, and loved hearing how active at 85-year-old can be. Three choirs! I AM impressed.
You are blessed to have such a mom! : )
Liked the cherry story.
Wow, your mom sure is active!! Good for her. Love the cherry story. Yum.
I love this story, Kathy! My Mom and Gram were feisty, too. Great that you still have your Mom - I miss mine every day.
Your mother sounds like my kind of lady.
What a mom you've got! Lucky you! You've got good genes.
