My mom writes the funniest emails! Just thought I'd share. She is 80 years old, has been married to my dad for 60 years and owns her own business. She is an Antique Show Promoter and has been for 30 years or so. She also had an antique shop in the barn in our back yard where she sold antiques and eggs. She has only one chicken now named "Rose" and a sulcutta tortoise named "Natalie". Natalie lives in the kitchen and is the size of a plate charger and still growing. Rose sleeps in the laundry room at night.
I'll start with the most recent one. (Saturday was her birthday.)
Got your message last night, thanks for thinking about me. Got home about 9:30. Started out at a gathering at Bill M*****'s. Didn't know a soul there. Then we were bussed to the castle here where there were 300 people. Everything was medieval from the movie on the wall to the live music. and all the (town's name) friends. It was a success for the Historical Society who did not put on an Antiques Show this year, so they made some money anyway.
Next is Thanksgiving at Lizzy's. Will miss you guys!
I'm glad Liz will have Christmas at her house too. I'm through with putting up a tree. Maybe candles in the windows, but that's all. That's a relief because we use every flat surface in the house as a desk with computers, papers, telephones, books, maps, mail, check books, show floor plans, contracts etc, etc, etc. I moved my artificial tree out in the yard by the side fence to fill in a gap. Looks nice there.
Love ya,
Mom
"Liz" or "Lizzy" is my sister.
