Happy New Year!!
Robb and I spent Tuesday doing a day trip to go see my Mom and Dad. We spent a couple hours reminiscing with mostly me doing some confessing of past sins that they may or may not have remembered me confessing to years ago.
Namely the Flashdance album meltdown, almost blowing up the house via the propane tank and with the wood burning stove. Mom didn't remember the Flashdance album until I was well into the story. Dad seemed shocked about all the "burning down the house" bits but then remembered the propane story.
I'd dig for them in my blog archives but lately, for some reason, the search only goes back a couple years. silly.
I asked them if they remembered any sins of their youth. Mom couldn't think of any off the top of her head and Dad could only remember the sins of a fellow classmate who was smoking in 9th grade and accidentally left a smoldering cigarette butt in his coat pocket, getting his coat to catch on fire in the coat room.
Here is my mom attempting a recreation of how she looked before she got married. Dad was trying to line her up and she just wasn't getting it. Oh well. Here we are.
We just need to get her some horn rimmed glasses, because she hasn't changed a bit!
When they went to lunch, we skedaddled. Had to pick up Leon by 3 from his mom's.
I've been working on my labor of love this week, but I'll show you my progress tomorrow.

I don't remember those stories. I'll have to see if I can search for them!
You're right. She looks the same. Amazing.
Your mom really does look great. Almost blowing up the house? Wow, you are wilder than I thought! 😂
