Cleaned out more of Mom's papers tonight. Lots of bird stuff, travel and landscaping info. They went to Seattle in 1993 and I remember they saw the house used in "Sleepless in Seattle". In May of 2003, they had a screech owl over there. It was on the fence and John was visiting. I didn't see it, but I remember she was fascinated by it. Several things on Sandhill Cranes. One time Mom and I went to Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis. That was fun. It was a long time ago--maybe back in the 80's. We wanted to birdwatch. She always had her binoculars with her. I also found a list of birds we saw one time when we went to Spring Mill. It was in my handwriting. It was neat that she kept that. She had several folders with birding info in them all the way back to 1987. I wonder if she ever looked them much. I can't remember exactly when she started getting into birds--I know it was after she took care of that baby robin. Joe was always into birds and he encouraged her. He had lots of neat birds when he lived down on the Ohio River. Also found several health books. She was very concerned about taking prednisone. She had printed out lots of stuff from the Internet about it.

I didn't have a very good night tonight. I've been tired today and I never deal well with going over there when I'm tired. I've just been down today. We started to go through Mom's nightstand drawer and I couldn't do it. I just couldn't stop crying. I did read some of her journals again. I miss her so very much.
