These are a Few of Her Favorite Things

My Mom is 83 years old and has gone by a number of nicknames

over the past 83 years. We have:

Monk

Dort

Red

Dot

Sister

Mom

Grandma

but the nickname she now has, has stuck for the past 9 years,

Mu (Moo).

Mu has had alot of "Favorite Things" over the years and they have changed

on a regular basis.

Now at age 83, these are some of "Her Favorite Things".

A few summers ago (daughter) Cher planted 3 Clematis Plants

in Her backyard. If you know anything at all about Clematis, they take

a couple of years to take hold and really show-off.

I do not know how many times last summer, she would have me look at them and she would say

"I don't think they are going to make it!".

I would reassure Her "they are fine, give them time".

Well this Spring was their 3rd year

and they really POPPED!

~~~
~~~

They are just Gorgeous!

She also has 2 Rose Bushes in the front Bed that are also
Blooming. A Shabby Pink and a Yellow Rose of Texas, it reminds
Her of John (her Son who lives in Texas).

This Guy, Buddy, ranks very high on Her "Favorite Things" List.
She got Buddy, as a kitten, last summer, so she has had him almost a year.
He has become a very BIG part of Her life.
Prior to Bud, when you visited with Mu, you would hear all about the
aches and pains of an 83 year old. Now when visiting with Mu you hear
all about
"The Cat".

This is the:
Cutest
Smartest
Meanest
most Loving
most Curious
Friendliest
Cleanest
Best Cat in the World,
says Mu!

The Top of Mu's
"Favotite Things" List
is Family.
She loves Family,
the ones here and the ones there.
Her door is always open to out-of- towners,
and they always leave to soon.

Now I really do not know where this
"Favorite"
fits into her

DEFINITELY
does.
