When I am in Kansas City I always prefer to take my Mom out.  My Mom is always hesitant and says that they won’t let her leave.  She doesn’t know who I am but she somewhat recognized my husband and myself.  She was so thrilled to leave!!!  Jeff and I always prefer to ditch her […]

There are four siblings and we have a 12 year age in range.  That being said we are extremely close and have walked through everything regarding our Mom together.  I will admit I had some issues along this bumpy road!!!

I called my Mom today to wish her happy Mother’s Day.  It always takes a long time for them to get her to a phone and it always makes me feel awful.  When they finally bring my Mom to a phone she tells me she needs to go after a few minutes. She is currently […]

Mom update from Jeff Cinco de Mayo came early at the Club today.  We had rolled tortillas, chips, sauce and our usual wine.  Eduardo, to my surprise, opened with a 30 minute set on the accordion.  I always thought he just played guitar.  Absolutely brought the house down.  Mother runs with a gang and they […]

I love any updates from my brother’s but Jeff does a nice job photographing the event so that you can really feel the excitement:) I’m not exactly sure who they were, but on Friday we had a duet performing at the Gardens that were doing the whole Captain and Tennille thing.  We received a medley of […]
