Mom’s Birthday

family, life

Today would have been my Mom’s birthday, she would be 88. She past way in 2013. I find that I miss her quite a bit even though I didn’t get along with her all that well. Most Sunday evenings I would call her in Florida. Sometimes on a Sunday I think “Did I call Mom today?” still.

On Sunday we went to a memorial for Gary’s aunt Mary who passed away this winter. It was held in the  Kokopelli Moon Saloon in Florence, Az which is owned by Gary’s cousin Matt.

 

 

Florence, Az is located in the desert east of Phoenix. We stopped at a rest area near Coolige, Az where I took this photo of the desert.
