Hot Rod Mary

Hot rod Mary

Our nickname for Mom.

As September begins and school bells ring.

A part of me associates that with my mother,

Hot Rod Mary loved to drive across wide open spaces! She drove through the night,through the ice and snow! Throughout the states and other countries! We learned to love maps and welcome the new and the unknown!

Appreciate the new spaces! Try new places, new tastes, new things! So many things she taught us! Awards she had for dancing, for bowling, she knew how to fly! Pick things like pinecones! Mushrooms! Scale a fish,make a fire, cement a floor. Speak Polish, French. Spanish! Taught History and Geography and Art!

As the years roll along I realize that though she not of this world, her lessons and words live on. Live your life at full speed just like Hot Rod Mary!
