More about Mom.

She's in her fifties. She'd be unhappy if I gave an exact age.

She likes Hummels, but can't afford to buy them much. She listens to Barry Manilow and the Wicked soundtrack, but her all-time favorite is The Beatles (Especially Paul!).

She loves pepperoni pizza. And Diet A&W Root Beer.

She likes The Godfather movies, and Indiana Jones, and Star Wars. Her favorite tv shows are Charmed and MASH.

She snorts sometimes when she laughs and she always tilts her head to the side if she knows you are taking her picture. She dotes on her grandson - her first so far - but loves ALL babies, including many great-nieces and nephews.

Her favorite color is yellow, and she likes toast with grape jelly as a late night snack.

That's my mom. She's kind of awesome.
