(Day1) "When I was 17..."
The beautiful gal on the right is my mom. On the left is me, her favorite (only) kid. Sharing memoir prompts I’m creating for my mom. She’s had a long, interesting life. At 83, she’s ready to start talking about it.

*These prompts are now just in emails between my mom and me and sending JohnnyO a copy for his memoir ideas. (And anyone else who wants it. Let me know.)
