On To The Mid West

Wow, my second post of the day, I’ll say I’m doing pretty good since I haven’t posted in quite some time.

Hubby and I went to visit with Hubby’s mom November 12 -13. Ma is such a very special mom to my Hubby and she loves me and has been the best mother-in-law I could ask for. She became “ma” to me when Hubby and I were dating and I’ve called her ma just like Hubby from that moment on.

The first day we were there we took ma to Wal-Mart where she just loves to shop. And then ordered pizza as that’s what she wanted for dinner. The next day she was up for us taking her to the Steak House down the street and that’s exactly what we did. We sat with her and visited and reminisced once again about old times. I never met Hubby’s father but for some reason, I feel like I know him just a bit from the stories I’m told. He was a tease and loved to joke and ma tells the best stories about him. Pa passed away in 1995 just before Hubby and I met and I can tell ma still misses him after all these years.

She used to play Nintendo up until just a couple years ago but now her vision has failed and it’s too hard for her to use the controller and play at the same time. She keeps herself busy by embroidering quilts and is a part of the “Red Hats Society”. She loves keeping up with different functions and activities and even asks Hubby from time to time to write articles for her to publish in the local paper.

Hubby is her baby boy and she calls him when she needs thread, stamps, or whatever and let me tell ya, he’s her Baby Boy on the spot and fills whatever order she places. He loves ma so much and dotes over her like a good loving son should. That’s just one of the many, many things I love about my honey.

That wraps up our time with ma and here’s a picture below of Hubby with ma. He always gives ma the whisker treatment on the neck and I always get a kick out of her jokingly yelling out his name!
