Best pic of your Mom. )) DANG I wish I'd met her. She's 100% right of course. Just think of mis-pronounced words as sweet quirks. That's how languages change, and localisms happen.
Just wonderful - the second one in particular! I don't know how to keep my mouth shut, honestly, and often find myself trying to correct people. Wise words from Katy, there.
She had a way of navigating her world with common sense, and a positive attitude. She kept on the sunny side, and imparted her wisdom to you, in everyday life…what a gift!
Your mom and my older sister might have had connected wisdom genes. Lee advised me to keep my mouth closed around others. To control my own actions rather than the actions or words of others. Even gave me a small business card that said “Stop Talking.” Your mom and my sis were Good Gals with smarts to share.
Your Mom both looked and sounded like a lovely person. :).

Very good advice, aptly shared.
I enjoyed both poems. The second was my favorite. It made me laugh.

Such a lovely post, Sharron. Hugs to you.

Great advice! My mom always told me “I may be right, but I could be dead right.”
How blessed you are to have had such a wise mother.

Your Mom was a wise woman. We need more Moms like that.
Mama knows best! You are much like her from what I know.
Think I will use this line as my byline under my name with every damn email I send to politicians about stopping war:
"peace is almost always more precious than being right".
Age has wisdoms, pitfalls.
But Mother rises and walks tall.
The story told, words well spoken
Repeat for next generation.
No wonder you’re a wise delight. So was your mom!
Words of wisdom for sure.
I always enjoy reading about Katy. She reminds me of the strong women that had such a positive influence on my early life.
