In honor of Mom's almost birthday, coming up soon, I present an Angie re-run. These photos were featured in a post I did about Mom on 9/16/2011. We were on a mission at the grocery store. I wanted to get some shots of the gourds on display so I told her to hop to it and give me a few of her best poses.
I don't know what came over her. She pulled out all the stops and started acting like a super model right there in HyVee.
I speculated at the time that it was likely a residual high from her new found freedom after she hitched a ride from the optometrists office to where she needed to go to catch the bus back to her cottage the previous night. We discussed how if I had done that I would have immediately been placed on restriction. She said something like "oh Carol" and then moved right on over to where they were giving out free samples of cheese.
So much for my lecture. In one ear and out the other.
Thanks Carol, it's so good to see Angie!
I have loved her from afar, through your great stories.
I found myself saying, ahhh. ;o)

Just this week I was going through my little collection of internet quotes and found this, from Angie in 2013: "When I woke up in the morning I decided I wasn't ready to die. So I came up with a plan." What a great approach to life!!! I have missed her in the tall tales, and know an Angie rerun is just what we all need to brighten our day.
