It's October, I'm allowed...

I wanted to find a cd that I came across in October of 2007...

It was from my mom...

It was a burned cd of some John Denver Christmas music from when we were little...

And it has a post it on it from my mom saying:

"It's October, I'm Allowed"

It is in one of those "safe places" which means of course I can't find it at the moment to snap a picture of it (I love my mom's handwriting!)...

So instead, settle for a picture of my mom and Big Tony (her 2nd husband) dating back to the early 1980's. This was taken at my grandmom's house and I love that you can see my sister Teren's reflection in the mirror watching them get their picture taken...

My mom loved to sew, but rarely found enough time to really get into it.

For a while she even had a small side business called "The Window Gallery" where she would make custom curtains for people...

Ok - weird random thought... Wish that small business could've taken off instead of her picking up working in a nail salon around all those chemicals, and eventually running her own shop from the house with super poor ventilation... "may have" kept her from exposure to stuff that caused her Leukemia... Who knows... just one of those thoughts that randomly shows up...

Life is what it is...
