we have our moments. :-)
Last year we had an apartment built over our garage for my mom and she moved out to California from NY. We live in the mountains. It's really nice having my mom on site...and she has lived long enough to be a little removed from the immediacy that I feel as a mother of young children. She sees people with a little deeper insight than I think I do. She's good for my kids. And she provides nurturing love to us all...particularly my husband who had a not so nurturing experience with his mother. I think he likes that. Ah well...rambling again.
