It's Monday evening - I’ll always think of my Mom on Mondays because we chatted for years on Monday evenings. For as long as I can remember my mom had a dog - usually a small poodle. Her favorite flowers were roses and lavender. She enjoyed wearing red, black and purple clothes. Her favorite road trips were to small town festivals. She enjoyed dining out - especially for Chinese food. And she loved celebrating birthdays and holidays. My mom was awesome and she will be missed.
