  • She has a room named after her at FSU in the Center for Professional Development.
  • She and Dad were ALMOST married 50 years until he passed away 2 months before their anniversary.
  • She ate a lot of beans and weiners because my Dad loved them (we won't go into detail about what happens afterwards).
  • She doesn't eat them now
  • She has 5 grandchildren, 3 of who are mine - they love their "Mimi"
  • She and I went on a cruise and she loved it and she would like to go again (save those pennies Mom)
  • She snores.
  • She has spunk.
  • She's given up cooking and has never looked back.
  • She especially likes my husband's cooking.
