On the eighth anniversary of her death. I will remain forever grateful to her for many things, including being part of the inspiration for the Five More Minutes With website. Thank you, darling Mom!

Here is one of my all-time favorite photos of her (don’t you love the silver mink stole and orchid-print dress?!?!), which is saying A LOT since she was quite photogenic and beautiful in person (people always said she looked like Kathryn Hepburn).

I’d also like to send my love to our darling Bo-Bo, whose ninth death date we observed over the weekend. We will always miss you and toast to you forever, darling Bo!
