My Mom
Ruth Duggins Heimer
 |
This is my Mom when she was about 5, around 1926, with her Dad and siblings. She's the cute little girl on the right in front of her brother, George Duggins. She looks a bit impish to me, but my Grandmother said Mom was very well-behaved, but then what else would she have told me? |

This was taken shortly after my parents were married in 1948, I think |

My mom loves to do crosswords, and she's very good at them. She's passed on her love of them to her grandson Grant (my son!). They're working one together here in our kitchen in Dallas in 2001. |

| We had a big birthday party for my mom's 80th birthday. Whew -- candle blindness -- it took three cakes to hold them all! Left to right: my sister Carol, my aunt Nancy, Mom, my son (her grandson) Max, I Don't Know, and me. August, 2001. |
My wonderful Mom! 2002
