Today would have been my mom's 86th birthday. Here are my sister, sister-in-law, and me with Mom in April 2014 just after she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We had her for 2 more years.

Vivid yellow flowers on green stems spill out of a flower bed along a concrete wall. Across the street is the LDS Tabernacle

This did not do any of that. Maybe they picked the wrong shades. 😁 That being said, the room was clean so they can choose whatever carpet and wall colors they wish!

Golden eagle or immature bald eagle? Where are my #bird people? Spotted at Yellowstone a few years ago.

Large brown raptor sits on a tree branch with evergreens in the snow in the background. It has a hooked bill.
