If still alive my Mom would turn to 95........
today I'll introduce my mom to you... it would be her bday if still alive she would turn to 95....... she tought us many useful things and thoughts.. not only but also all kind of management in each situation!! when we were children we got often tired of, but now in a higher age we know it better.... how worthfull it had always been for us!!!!! and her love for travelling was her heritage for us.. my first trip abroad I had with her - to the netherlands, and another to denmark!!

she had a VERY hard life with a husband *with 2 left hands* as we call it in german.. and a longtime jobless, too!! and 2 kids only 19 month difference in their age..... working every minute, some hours daily as a cleaner, some hours every day in her garden, 500 sm!!! from where she was feeding us.. spending much time for cooking for 4 hearty eater.... working as a waitress during hanover industrial fair every year.. and all evenings she spent at her to sew for us and others......... and I remember also 2 afternoons weekly she spent at a little factory with sewing of bedticks!!!! she tought to us and also to some of my classmates/ friends. even at home she made everything by herself, wallpaperhanging as well as to repare everything, even power probs or others.... no need to say she went everywhere by bicycle!!

her only luxurious thing during these hard years was to travel, travelling in a very unpretentious way.. by bus, in a double bedroom together with any other unknown lady like herself.... and very shortly!!! to suffer from her hard life........ well.. this was my mom!!!!!!
