This isn't specifically a memory about Mother's Day, but it is a memory of my mom. The photo below of my mother, Geraldine Margaret Guokas Pape (1928-2019), was taken sometime in early 1968, at Camp Robinwood near Willis, Texas. My Junior Girl Scout troop had gone there for a weekend camping trip, and Mom came along to help. I don't think camping was one of Mom's favorite things, but she did it anyway, to support me and my troop.
Your Mom was a gem to help out the troop!
ReplyDeleteMarian, she was! She much preferred doing things like helping many of us earn the Sewing merit badge, but with my sister and I both in the same troop that year, she volunteered to be a temporary assistant leader on this camping trip. We slept on cots in platform tents, so it wasn't too rough! Thanks for commenting!
