I'll bet YOUR Mom has her Momerisms

Well, it was just another Wednesday and I opened up my email to find over 100 emails — 5 of them from Mom alone. Each and every one of them was about something funny. My mom has become notorious for her momerisms throughout the years. You see, I think she has a terrific sense of humor and can tell a really good story. She’s a bit of a storyteller — I didn’t inherit the verbal storytelling abilities from her. I did inherit the ability to write though!

As I was browsing her emails, I noted that these were pretty funny — and thought I’d create a lens to honor my mom and her momerisms!

Update: This just in from Mom — Today is International Disturbed People’s Day! Please send an encouraging message to a disturbed friend… just as I’ve done. Oh, thanks Mom! I needed that.

There's Nothing Wrong with my Eyesight!

I AM a GREAT Cook I LOVE COOKING WITH WINE Sometimes I even put it in the food.

OK, I'm Dating Now -- Bowel Movements are IMPORTANT!

Be Sure to Call YOUR Mom! Money isn't everything, but it sure keeps the kids in touch.

Momerisms -- A Sense of Humor

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang.

Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him,

"Al, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on the interstate.

Please be careful!"

"It's not just one car," said Al. "It's hundreds of them!"

In Closing ...

Momerisms -- In Memoriam!
With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at
the moment, it is worth reflecting on the death of a very
important person, which almost went unnoticed last week
Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote "TheHokey Pokey", died
peacefully at age 93.

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him
into the coffin. They put his left leg in. And then the
trouble started.

Holidays with Grandma

Holidays with Grandma : A Family Tradition. Holidays with Grandma were special and memorable. Some of the best memories of growing up! Holidays with Grandma were a Holiday Tradition! I have memories of important holidays which include my grandma. That's a picture of grandma and me! Our Thanksgiving and Christmas and Easter Holidays really didn't kick-off at our house until our grandparents arrived, especially grandma! What is it about grandmas anyway that they evoke such love and warm memories in their grandchildren's hearts.

A Holiday with JaguarJulie and
Grandma Julia Nagy

My grandma shared her love for traditional Hungarian and Slovak cooking with us. Because of her, I have a passionate love for stuffed cabbage, hungarian goulash, hungarian spaetzle, polish pierogi, butter horns, nut roll, poppy seed roll, kifli, langos, strudel, apple pie, crepes suzette and oh so many other traditional Hungarian goodies!

I have written some about my grandma Julia Nagy as she has inspired me to be what I am today. Thank you grandma! I am thinking of you now that the holiday season is here ... sadly it is now holidays without grandma.

What is a bit saddening is to see that the important things are seemingly diminished by the commercialization of the Holidays. You know, buy this, buy that; write about this top selling item; sell, sell, sell; buy, buy, buy!

My grandma survived the Great Depression and instilled within us, a sense of pride and appreciation for the Christmas Tradition. Perhaps there would be less wars, fighting, competition, and divorces, if we weren't trying to add to all that commercialization. To me, Holidays with Grandma IS the Christmas Tradition. Those are my thoughts ... what are yours?

Some of the best memories of growing up were holidays with grandma : cherishing those memorable family traditions! Wish you were here grandma!

A grandma is a grand person! The use of the prefix "grand-" dates from the early 13th century, from Anglo-French graund.

The Christmas Holiday with Grandma Julia Nagy

Dear Grandma: It's the holidays without you again!

Dear Grandma,

Yes, it is once again the holidays without you. I’ve got your recipes for stuffed cabbage rolls, nut roll, poppy seed roll, butter horns, hungarian goulash, kifli, and kind of remember all your cooking tips. But, it’s just NOT the same without you! Everything your cooked and baked always tasted better than my rendition.

I just wanted to thank you again for everything that you taught me and for all the love that you shared unconditionally. I didn’t always tell you how much you meant to me; how much I truly respected and loved you. Grandma, I miss you. I’m doing my best each day to be a better person, and it is all because of you. Because of all that you taught us.

Thank you grandma for all that you did for us.

Sincerely,

Your loving grandchild.
