Dear Mom,

13/6/2012

The last time you were in Europe, you were a precocious teenager. Equipped with only your Brother's sage advice of "Don't shave your armpits. If someone sees you with shaved underarms, they'll assume you're a prostitute." I imagine you would be in for a different experience this time around. For better or worse, I imagine Europe looks a lot different than it did more than thirty years ago, and I would like to show you around. More so, MOM, your grandkids miss you. So please, get on that passport thingy and come and visit us. I miss you too.

Love,
Tara

I'm already saving my pennies to bring the girls here in September. Now I'm going to have to add saving pennies to bring myself there? That's an awful lot of pennies :)

Agreed! Definitely well worth it and the host/hostesses are pretty great too. Delicious asparagus dinners and even more delicious beer (and wine). Thanks again Tara!! :)

Tara wants her mommy, you have to go, Theresa! I miss my mother daily and she's not that far away. But I think you and Tara still seem to see each other more often than we do. So is a blog guilt trip going to work on you, Theresa?

you're the only one that spelled my Mom's name right! And you did it twice for emphasis. I appreciate that!

Meh. The guilt gene always skips a generation, Prego. Lives in my mother, lives in my daughter. Not so much me or the Yes We Know We Drive You Insane, You Expect Us To Feel Bad About It? moppets.

What's a moppet? You're old.

I guess since you know how to use the internet you're not THAT old.
