2011 - its got to be better than 2010

My life has taken an unbelievable turn.  My Mom passed away on Dec. 23rd and things will never be the same again.  She was an amazing person, so full of creativity and ideas and vision.  She was the one I talked to about everything and especially about my house because she was there when it was built.  She remembers things that my Dad doesn't so it is just one of the many things that have been lost with her passing.  I am glad she knows I got the house.  This photo is of her at the dining room table with us and the neighbor girls back in the early 1960s.  She painted that branch on the wall.  It was covered over many times and I had hoped to uncover it when we removed the wall, but there were too many layers.  We have memories of it though, and of her.  I love you Mom.
