Memories for Mother's Day

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.

    1. Marian, 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!
