Mother's Day!

 

I come from a line of great Moms, so of course, I had a good idea of how to be a great Mom, myself!

I've mentioned before, I don't have many of my photos from growing up, so I am happy to have these of my Mom and my Grandma!

My Mom and I at our home where I grew up!
My Mom as a fashionable young woman!

My wonderful Grandma!

The best thing I ever did was to become a Mom! And I really lucked out!
Here are my most fabulous, bestest daughter and I, when she was little!

And us in 2026! I just got back from a trip to visit Nico and her husband, Jeremiah!
We always have the very best time!

She made me a special Mother's Day brunch, in honor of Goldi's deli
in Portsmouth, where we used to go for Mother's Day until they closed.
Bagels and Lox and french fries! The perfect meal! And the perfect Mother's Day!

HAPPPPPPPY BIRTHDAY, Nico!!!

 I have the bestest of all daughters so I always try and do a special celebration by drawing or assembling the number of the birthday with special surprises! This year, 42 Coffee Cups (and Mugs) say "Happy Birthday, Nico!!"

Catching up on Six Chix!

 Seems like I'm always behind on posting my Six Chix cartoons! So here are the latest!
