Mother’s Day was spent with my sister, Vanessa, and her family. It was so nice to relax instead of just going, going, going like we had been for the past few days.

Because we live across the country from each other we don’t get to visit in person as much as I would like. Last time we all were together was four years when we had a family reunion in Nauvoo, IL.

While getting a tour of their house we walked into Vanessa’s closet. Debbie noticed all her shoes right away. “Mom, you guys have the same taste in shoes!” Then she turned around and saw all Vanessa’s necklaces hanging on the wall. “And the same taste in jewelry!”

What’s funny is we each developed our own similar style while living away from each other. I guess the genes are deep with us.
