in loving memory

its fitting that the perseid meteor shower is this time of the year, in fact the peak is supposed to be tonight. the full moon should block most of the small ones, but it will be the big ones that people will see and remember. one year ago tonight my mom passed from this world and went to be with her loving savior. i wanted to post a couple things about her. her obituary for those who didn't ever get to meet her, and some of her funny quotes i happened to take down last summer while i was home.

i hate this heat!! i have been praying for those people in the asphalt jungle. no wonder they kill each other, its so hot out there!

what would the pioneers think of patios on top of buildings? they didn't even know what patios were! building houses on top of houses, the world trade center would be a joke to them! and do you know what they would think of little dogs that live in houses? even the vietnamese ate their dogs!
