Pizza, kids.cats & sewing machines

 I'll start with the pizza.  When we were first married we used to go to my mother's place at least once a week for dinner and TV.  We almost always made pizza.

 Then, when we had kids, we continued the pizza making tradition just about every week.  Cheap dinner and everyone liked it.  For Morgan's birthday this year, among other things, I ordered a few boxes of our favorite boxed pizza.   

Yesterday, Morgan sent me a couple of pictures of him and Kim and the pizzas they made.

Austin returned from his tour of South East Asia on Thursday night/ Friday morning.  He looks great and seems very happy.  He told us all about his travels and adventures!   He and Kristin, who I have not met yet, had a great time.  First in Thailand, both south and north, then Cambodia and finally Japan before heading to LA and then here.  He sang karaoke with a lot of different people and made new friends on the way.  We have been caring for his cat, Molly while he has been gone.   She has been a very sweet and quiet cat.  As soon as Molly heard Austin's voice, she recognized that it was him and she started to meow and bang on the bedroom door.   Smart kitty!

Every so often I get emails that have photos that I had posted on that date in other years.   One such picture popped up today.  It's a picture of my mother sewing on her Featherweight sewing machine.  The picture was taken in 1950, so my mom must have been around 24 years old!   She loved sewing on that machine.  In fact, it is the machine my sister and I learned to sew on.   We both did a lot of sewing in high school.  It used to be cheaper to make your own clothes than to buy them.  Now it is the opposite!   I looked at that picture of my mom and thought that she really looks a lot like Courtney, my daughter, her granddaughter.   It's so strange to think of my mom so young!

 

 

 

 

 

Last but not least, the daffodils that Nick planted have come up and are really beautiful!
