Your mom really is the most beautiful woman in the world, but so are you! I love your stories and photos about this gallant, hardworking, resourceful mother, her Biblical wisdom, her quotes. I love this:
She liked to dress up but could also rock a plaid shirt with a striped shirt under it and rolled up pants while shucking oysters.

Pin curls! I remember these!

There are many heat-free ways to create curly hairstyles for both short and long hair. All you need is your fingers and some bobby pins! Simply divide your hair into small sections, wrap your hair around your finger, and pin your curl at your roots. Leave the pins in overnight to create effortless, gorgeous curls with any hair type.

Wrap your hair in silk and let your curls set for 12-15 hours. For best results, let your curls set overnight .... spray a light layer of hairspray over your hair to keep your curls defined all day long....

Thanks for writing this. :) You never fail to come up with something interesting!
