Dear Lynda. I’m so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. What a wonderful life she had! I’m so glad I got to see both of you a few years ago at Jan’s. I remember all the Saturday evenings we spent together as children ( a year or two ago ) and our Dads going out to get “ Chips “ as a late night treat. I was always envious of your up-stairs bedroom.
