Boondocks Flapdoodle and Beyond My Mom...comes from a big family and was born and raised in the boondocks...she is an amazing cook and amazing writer, she has such a way with words. She is having computer problems at the moment and isn't able to blog...but eventually she will be back, she likes to share her memories from the past and share old pics and sometimes stories to go along with them.... She loved reading journals for quite some time and I knew she would do great having one of her own...she was kinda scared like all of us to venture out and start her own, so I went to her house and started one for her...LOL That was it, she was hooked like the rest of us. I love you Mom, not only are you a beautiful person....but your blog is beautiful as well!
