Proud of my mom!

My mom, who just had her birthday this week (!), is a wonderful, smart, caring, and generous lady. She is incredibly self sacrificing! I have so many examples that could do a daily blog devoted to it! I am always proud of her (as well as my dad who is also extremely and extraordinarily selfless, kind hearted, and loving), but today I am especially proud of her because she won an art competition where she had to depict something from our area to be used as a post card for the city. She was one of the winners with her watercolor painting of a locally well known sledding hill, a nostalgic memory for many who grew up here or currently have children. Aside from a check, she gets to have her entry painted in a huge mural on the outside of the Post Office Building!  I am so happy for her, she really deserves it! I am so fortunate to have two parents who are so wonderful in so many ways!

Here are the two best people in the world as far as I am concerned! By the way, I love my mom’s Geoff McFetridge, “I’m Rockn’ on your dime” T shirt!

Here is a stack of postcards with her painting printed on them, and below, my dad and I were at the gallery reception to support her.
