I used to write postings about my mother - I called them The Mommy Report. It chronicled her life and how it interacted with mine.
As Yogi Berra said, "Its deja vu all over again." Well - - - not quite, but close. The past month, the Mystery Guest Blogger has been in Ohio with her mother. The decision has been made for her to move south to sunny Texas - but not right now. She is with us for the Thanksgiving holiday, will return to Ohio for one last Christmas with family, then move here permanently in January.
You won't read any mother-in-law jokes on this blog - I've always gotten along very well with the MGB's mom. She is a warm-hearted woman - well read, quiet, and unobtrusive. Being deaf herself, it was she who made me realize that I was compensating for my own poor hearing by lip reading.
This morning, she enjoyed the beautiful weather as she watched her daughter doing outside chores. Welcome to deep south Texas, Mama.
