Thursday Thirteen #12
- I love the friendship that she and I have developed. Sometimes we are so different, but that makes us close. I value her opinions.
- I love that my mom and I have super long phone conversations. (This is saying a whole lot, because I HATE to chat on the phone.)
- My mom gets so freaked out at scary movies! She totally cracks me up. Once during the scary part of a movie we were watching, (instead of just jumping) she literally jumped up and ran out of the room!
- I love my mom's personality. She is someone you can't ignore. She is one of those people you can't walk by without hugging.
- My mom is also one of the wisest women you will ever meet. She has a great quote or some sage wisdom to bestow for nearly every situation!
- (I love that my mom is so into blogging that she will think this banner is very cool...)
- When I think about my mom, I think about daisies. (And not just because of her blog - Lazy Daisy!) Daisies are a happy flower, they always look like they are smiling - just like my mom!
- She is one of the most generous people I've ever known. She truly knows the meaning of "give until it hurts." But she never receives any recognition for her sacrifices. Well, I notice mom.
- When my mom loves something, she REALLY loves it. She is always wholehearted in the things she is passionate about.
- My mom is a great writer. She throws her humor and creativity around and someday she'll put it all together and write a best-seller. I hope.
- My mom is a "cozy" person. Her favorite place is looking out on her country backyard with its rolling hills, watching the little finches at her birdfeeder, smelling her lilac tree, with a fuzzy cat on her lap. And that translates to her demeanor, too. She is one of those people you wind up telling your life story to!
- My mom is a great wife. She exudes patience with my dad. She listens to him spout off crazy phrases he learns in other languages, shuts all the cabinet doors he forgets to close, tolerates his "selective hearing," and sometimes, she'll even watch "Modern Marvels" with him! What a lady!
- And finally, my mom is a great mother. She raised some dang good kids. (Me, especially. Heh.)

What a wonderful post. I hope your mom reads this. I'm sure it will make her day.
My 13 are up.
That is so sweet! Your mom sounds like a really neat person. Will she read this? I hope so!
Thanks for stopping by, I'll go link you up!
Ahhh.....I'm in purple puddles now. Yes that is a cool banner....I am so jealous , now I'll have to send all my friends here so they'll know how "wonderful" I really am. Seriously, I am very touched and over-whelmed!
You have a rockin' great mom. I hope you have grown up to have so many of her traits--her humor and grace--she is amazing. You are wonderful daughter!
You are a very lucky girl to have such a wonderful mom! And your mom is one lucky mom to have a daughter who appreciates her and tells her so.
God Bless you both!

What a great tribute to your mother!! I would be crying about now if I were your mom and you were my daughter!! What you wrote is very true about her....
It's not surprising at all that she is a great Mom. The petal doesn't fall far from the flower.
I already saw this on your Mom's blog. I love your Mom. I loved her before her Olympic fame!
Thanks for linking me. I have linked you, too.
Hi Suzy! I'm the other Beckie (your mom's neighbor). That was an awesome tribute to your mom. I agree with you...she's a great friend too.
Hi Suzy, I'm a friend of your mom's and I have to say I think she's pretty neato! Wonderful tribute to her! You are a lucky gal! Great 13, welcome to the TT club!! :)
I love my mom too! Like you, I am also thankful for all the happy memories we've had and will be having :)
Happy weekend.
