Adventures

It's been too long since I posted last! This last weekend, my mommy came to town. I'm so proud of her because most of you who are reading this know that my mom is losing her sight to acute glaucoma, so most of her independence has been taken away. She can't work anymore. She can't drive anymore. And, she often feels out of place in this world (because if you know her, you know there's no more independent spirit than her!)

This last weekend, however, she took her own taxi to the greyhound bus station, boarded a bus in Memphis, and came 10 hours on bus to Cincinnati, where we picked her up and had an awesome time! She did the whole trip by herself, and she's on her way home today. While she was here, we went to Cincinnati's Conservatory (where we saw the most beautiful flowers from all over the world). Then, we went to Newport on the Levee and ate pizza on the Ohio river with the awesome Cinci skyline in the background. We went swimming, had a cookout with some friends from Ohio, and toured around our little town of Oxford. It was very fun, and it was good to spend some quality time just mother/daughter!

Here are some pics from the weekend's adventures...
