What could be better than spending Mother's Day in East Tennessee with your 92 year old mother? Even though I miss being with my son and family on the west coast, I am grateful that I still have my mom and can be with her. I love being able to do things for her and to hear the fun in her laughter no matter what we do. Her favorite activities are going to her church, seeing friends who remember her, eating out and # 1 is shopping. We did all of these and more.
My favorite memory of this trip was taking her to a benefit concert at her church and watching her reaction to the lively blue grass group. As they played and sang, she became caught up in their beat and started accompanying them with her "air piano" Wow, she can still move and groove at 92. My only regret was that I didn't have my camera to capture the pure enjoyment she was having and the fun reaction the audience had watching her. Not only is her music spirit still very alive, but so is her sense of style. Way to go Mom. Thanks for your ongoing inspiration and joyful spirit.
