Phil and I had decided to dedicate our book to both of our mothers. His mother Ernestine passed away a number of years ago; however, my mother Anne is 86 years old and still going strong.
There are so many positive things I can share with all of you about my mother:
– Nurturing – Her huge heart and empathy impacted each of us in an important way. My mother loved being a mother and it showed!
– Homework – She spent countless hours with each of her four children every evening helping us with our homework. She helped us learn to memorize information for tests by creating word games. What a gift!
-Project Management – We all learned self-discipline and focus from her. Three of us have graduate degrees; and we have all told her that her leadership is the reason why.
– Belief in God! – My mother was a devout Catholic. Because of her guidance, we all prayed together every evening. To this day, I am still praying in the evening. She helped us all believe in something bigger than what we saw with our eyes. What a wonderful gift this was to all of us. Our belief in God has made it a bit easier making our way in life.
I look forward to hearing about your mother! Tell us all about her!
Traveling New Mexico covers both the highway historical markers and state park markers, more than 500 in number, and is easier to use than the other book [from another publisher] focusing on the 350 highway historic markers. The savvy traveler will probably want to have both guides. But if you're trying to save money, go with Traveling New Mexico, which has everything the other does, with a bonus of 150 state park markers."
