Mimi's Wishing Well

Cleaning out my office today, I found a list of all of the countries my mom visited. Her and I made this list one evening only a couple weeks before she passed. I am so very thankful that we did this.

Mexico 8X
Spain 6X
Peru 4X
Costa Rica 3-4X
Morocco 2-3X
England 2X
France
Belgium
Germany
Switzerland
Italy
Sicily
Turkey
Egypt
China
Australia
New Zealand
Guatemala
Bolivia
Ecuador
Brazil
Panama
Argentina
Chili
Paraguay
Canada

Though Mom loved to travel, I distinctly remember her telling me one day last winter, "A trip to Monkey Joes with grandkids is better than traveling anywhere in the world."

This picture was taken of my mom and I on our last trip to Spain in 2008.
