my mum was awesome...

...and still is awesome.  My mother is a hip lady.  She's been described as beautiful, graceful, a "boat-load of fun", and the life of the party.  She's adventurous, genuinely nice (even if we do tend to bicker), and has the sharpest wit of anyone I know, aside from my 91 year old grandfather (her father).

Still.  I'd love to put these pictures of her up on the website My Parents Were Awesome.  (I originally heard of this site from Jessica Napier.)
