Postcard Project Update - Monday, February 28, 2005
First off, Becka:
My mom's name is Sally. She's 61 years old. Still works as a home health aid. She tripped on a doormat at a patient's house in early January and broke her ankle, so she's been out of work for almost two months. I've told her to tell people that she slipped on the ice, 'cause that sounds less stupid than tripping on a mat. Yet she insists on the truth. She loves NASCAR(went with her, dad and my husband to a NASCAR time trial last year), especially Rusty Wallace, so she's really bummed this is his last year in racing. But, no, she's *not* white trash. Speaking of white trash, she loves the show "Cops." She hasn't missed a Saturday night of Cops since it started. One Saturday night she brought me to the emergency room, but still made me set the VCR so she could watch it when we got home. She loves to read, sometimes mind candy romance novels but usually stuff by James Patterson and Faye Kellerman. She loves York Beach, Maine and has spent many vacations there, and her favorite part of it is Nubble Lighthouse. Her mom, Doris, passed away on November 1 of 2004, and she's still healing from that. Gram was her best friend, and they did a lot together. Mom has lived in MA for most of her life, though she did live in Colorado for a while. She's been married 3 times; and she has 4 kids - Dale is 41, married with 2 kids and served in the Army for a while; Sindia is 39, married with 2 kids; Jay is 36, on his third marriage and has 1 kid; and I'll be 29 in a week and I just got married in September. We just started a quilting class. She loves to do paint by numbers, jigsaw puzzles, and has recently gotten into word searches. Her two best friends have moved away; one lives in CA and one in VT. Mom loves dead singers - Elvis, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, John Denver. It's kinda weird - everytime she says she wants to see someone in concert, they die. Mom is incredibly curious so all the letters would pique her interest - she'd want to try to figure out where she met all these people. I've done a lot of traveling, so possibly that could come into it - people could say they met me while traveling and I had talked about her and her interests. Especially since I live right next door, some letters could even come to me and I could give them to mom saying the letters mention her. There's tons of things mom does and has in common with a lot of people. She used to have some penpals but doesn't remember their names, some letters could be from "former penpals" or things like that. I know my brother Jay would go along with this, so we could get angles from him too. Mom talks to him every Wednesday night. But anyway, that's my plea. I think it would really brighten her mood to have something other than Gram to focus on, and I know that this would befuddle her to no end. Becka |
