Things I will always remember:
Her slightly sly sense of humorHer total belief in herself. Her loyalty. 
Her enthusiasm for all things creative but crappy followthrough. She was just to enthusiastic to knuckle down.

When she found something that worked like a haircut-she stuck with it. Something I wish I could do.

Her love of jewelry size in direct opposite to her size.

And her friendship. I'll miss you but I'm glad Dad didn't have to wait 

On September 25, 2021, I went up to Bellingham to kidnap mom away from assisted living for the day. It was a beautiful sunny day, and she said that she wanted to take a drive out into the county, so we headed up towards Mt. Baker. Along the way mom chatted about her new dining table posse, and all the antics they were getting up to. We stopped in Acme for lunch, and had a wonderful meal outside. Going home, we drove Mosquito Lake Road, and mom reminisced about college times, and when she met dad. It's shocking how long he took to do things, she had to propose to him on the second date because he just wasn't pulling the trigger! Such a nice drive, and such good company, on a beautiful day. This day was the last time I saw mom outside of a medical setting, and I will cherish the memory forever.
