Love your Mom memories. There were just three girls in our family and 1 bathroom. We laughed that Dad often just went outside.
Favorite Halloween costume, this is terrible I know I went trick or treating but I can't remember what I would be. I do remember making costumes for my two. C3PO was one of my big efforts for my son, and Dorothy from the Wiazard of OZ for my daughter.
This year my daughter is dressing up for a party and work as a Monarch butterfly. She got the pattern from a Martha Stewart magazine. She did an awesome job on the wings, She bought butterflies to cut in half and glue to the outer part of her eye. It really is stunning. Can't wait to see it. Will try to remember to take a picture and post.
This has been a slow week on the scale. I am maintaining, but need to do more than that. It didn't help that there were so many fun recipes on line for caramel corn. I found one that was really a hit and a do over and easy as well. I made it for two little girls I am filling up a treat bag for and giving today along with two cut mug rugs I made with pumpkins on them.
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, because the focus is on family and being thankful for all we have. I also could eat all the stuffing and not share, it is my favorite part of the meal. Whatis your favorite holiday and food connected with it?

Love Love Love my mom but we were never touchy feely because there were just two many of us. My Mom was always pregnant, had a new baby or was recovering from a miscarrage. When we went to church we always sat in birth order the oldest first and then my mom and dad last. When i turned Four i was already Three people away from my mom.
In the evening when we were all supposed to be asleep i would sneak downstairs to snuggle up beside my mom on the couch and watch her hand embroider lingerie for a company so that she could make a little extra money. She did really beautiful embroidery and i learned by watching her eventually when i was good that enough she let me embroider some of the minor details on the lingerie. It is some of my finest memories. She is 85 and today we sometimes snuggle up together on her couch under a quilt i have made for her.
She weighs about as much as her age and me well i'm a lot bigger now. sigh. i am working on that though.
What was your favorite halloween costume as a kid? For me It was a pink satin elephant costume. (oh boy after i typed that i thought to myself i grew into that one)
Hope everyone has a wonderful day today.
Just remember it takes 200,000 frowns to make a permanent wrinkle. No frowns here today all smiles, OK.
