Here it is, nearly Mother's Day weekend... I can't believe it, because that means that school is nearly over... just another 6 weeks and it will be Summer break... YIKES!
My mother has had such a rough time of it lately, you all know that she has been in and out of the hospital for the past month or so, and she was gravely ill since January. I know now, looking back, that she was feeling really bad in December as well. She just wasn't her perky self. Now she has good days and bad days, and well... on her good days, she is perky, fun and flirty... she winked at my friend as he was telling her goodbye one day... yep, that's my mom!
Mom gets her love of purple from my grandmother, who also loved purple. I don't know what it says about a person that loves purple, but... I know that one study said that painting your home in that color can make people nauseous... I believe that! I love purple as well, but couldn't stand much of it... we moved into the house that I kind of grew up in, my aunt and uncle owned it for something like44 years. They had added on a new bath, bedroom, pantry and grand room as well as a two car garage and work area, which was a wonderful addition. But the bathroom was done in lavender and white tiles, the shower was done in all lavender... and ugh... trying to find bath towels was hard, but you can't imagine what trouble it was to find fabric to change the look of the room without contrasting too much with that color. YIKES!
Anyway, Mom decided to paint her bathroom with white and purple, and it ended up looking pretty good. Not enough of the purple to make it outrageous... then she had me do a mural on her bedroom wall... of Wisteria vines. Yes, purple in there as
well... and you know, it was ok. I don't really like murals in my bedroom, but in hers it looked like it fit.
