* When she was single and didn't feel like doing her hair before work, she'd put on a wig. And no one would notice.
* She loved watching the rodeo on TV. I remember her telling me to wait until dad went to sleep then I could get up and we'd watch the rodeo on CMT.
* Everytime I went into her room after she had gone to sleep she would jump up and say "WHAT?" and I'd chuckle and say "It's just me, mom."
* (From Holly) When Becky lived in AZ and she came home for a visit, she went into my mom's room to tell her she's back. My mom woke up and groggily pushed her away and then woke up and said "Becky you're home!!" And then started bawling.
*She would cry over everything. One of the ones we would all laugh about was the Folger's commercial where the son who has been away comes home and his mom smells the coffee and comes into the kitchen and says "John, you're home!" We would tell her "Mom, you're crying over a commercial" and she'd laugh and cry.

This makes me sad, but also made me smile. I've been thinking about your mom a lot the past couple of days. Hope you're doing okay
Yeah, I think I got the crying thing from her. I find myself watching something, that isn't even that sad, forcing myself not to cry. Didn't mom cry watching Take-home Chef?
Oh, now I'm crying:) and I remember that take home chef when she was crying~ remember how she'd sing a song about anything and everything....I find myself doing that now!
I remember she would sing every song to the tune of a church song.
Or when she would send us to DeMars to get ice cream bars, or candy bars. I remember going to the grocery store with her and we would have 2 carts just stuffed full. 8 loaves of bread. Now that's just funny.
