from Randy's memory bank - for Randy's 5th birthday Mom bought him a bike and hide it at Verna's house. Verna left it in her living-room. The next day she was asked to babysit Randy for a minute. Well he saw this bike and spent some time checking it out and sitting on it. When his birthday arrived and Mom walked out with this new bike Randy said "Verna is so nice she bought me a bike!!" Mom was kinda upset about this of course and quickly explained.
Also Randy still laughs when he thinks of this part - he was afraid to ride the bike (remember this was for the size of a 5 year old) so Mom got on the bike and rode it around to show him there was nothing to be afraid of. After he stopped laughing from seeing his Mom on that tiny bike he hopped on and started riding.
Happy Birthday Mom and thanks for the memories : )
I would say I can remember Mom being in the kitchen always, but the best memory is waking up early on Thanksgiving or Christmas and sneaking into the kitchen, Mom would be cooking with only the light of the old white stove on. It would be very warm and smell really good! Such a warm happy feeling!
