🩷 🌸 Happy Mother’s Day Norma Jean 🌸🩷 They broke mold after her! At 95 she’s still going, slowing down a little these days, but she’s still driving, in the kitchen cooking, gardening, playing bridge, mahjong and pinochle…I’m not even sure what pinochle is, but I’m guessing we should follow her lead and take it up 😉
She still dresses up every Halloween, in fact every holiday is reason to wear a matching outfit 🥰 If you have breakfast at her house, your eggs will be made with either butter or bacon grease, full stop 😂 She wears red lipstick from sunup to sundown 💄 I have to say it’s handy because you always know which coffee cup is hers 🤗 Speaking of coffee, she drinks about 10 cups of black coffee a day, yes, 10 🤯 Folgers is her favorite, the one in the red can. She dabbled in Peet’s Major Dickenson’s blend for a hot second, but ultimately went back to her true love ☕️
Over the years we’ve watched her take belly dancing classes, banjo lessons, painting courses and even enrolled in computer at the university so she could keep up with “all the things”.
She was the first woman in the state of Kansas to run a telephone company for Southwestern Bell (now AT&T) all while raising a boatload of kids and helping my dad run the restaurants 🤹♀️ And boy can she cook! She’s a wonder…the original Life Hacker 🤩
My Favorite Norma Jean line: “If you knew how often people thought about you, you wouldn’t care what they think” 😁
I Love You SO Much, Mom, thank you for everything ❤️
Ps. I tossed in some pix of the grandkids I gave her, too! Blessed beyond measure with this Mötley Crüe! Kid 1 & Tyler, Kid 2, Kid 3 and my favorite family photo to date of all 5 of us 🥰
🎁 MOTHER’S DAY BONUS: I’m going to give one lucky 🍀 follower a $40. gift card to Amazon to grab my cookbook, it’s only $35. but I want to make sure to cover the tax for ya 😉 Just comment “cook” for a chance! Follower announced in my stories Monday, May 18, 2026 😍
XO,
Lora
