Thinking of Mom on what would have been her 86th birthday (7/24/25). She truly was a “woman of many hats”, and I recently discovered photos that continue to show the breath of activities which she took joy in doing. Here are a couple of “construction mom”, no doubt under the careful direction of Dad!

Delving into a sketch mystery in memory of Mom’s passing 6 years ago – where did all the other versions go? But for sure the love she always showed through her artistic abilities (and especially her love of dolls) still resides within us… We love you Mom!
