I made a blog for my mom
To disable ads, please log-in.
My mom is 85 and still very much alive and kicking. She's been an activist and writer most of her life. She's lived a lot of history ( so have I by default) For example, my older siblings went to the first integrated preschool in the US. She was very much in the forefront of the lesbian movement in Sonoma County in the 70s, and more. I was inspired to make a blog for her, as a venue to for her stuff and a new project.
Here it is. :-)

You're blessed lrulan to have a mother at the forefront and wanting to share stories..to the world on what she thinks, has experienced.
I'm sure she's thrilled to have blog venue. Anyone is who naturally enjoys sharing stories in writing.My Personal blog on cycling & other favourite passions.

Oh, very nice. I love the design and layout. And yes, she can write.

I made a blog for my mom
I just added an entry, a Peace March memoir that goes back to the fifties. Do you gals want me to announce when I put up something interesting?

That is very cool, Irulan. Thanks for sharing it here.

oh, she is really excited about it. She was really fascinated by margaretandhelen. As soon as I brought up the idea a couple of months ago, she created a folder on her desktop and has been putting things into it.

I love this! Are you talking about the co-op preschool that was at SRJC? That was integrated and my parents were involved in starting it. All of us kids went there including my brother and my sister, Duck on Wheels of this forum.
Irulan, did we go to pre-school with you?
My Mom was in the first class to graduate Sonoma State University. I remember her going to classes when they held them in hotel rooms, no university yet and barely any buildings. She and my Dad were very active in the Peace and civil rights movements in Northern California. They were honored by the ACLU before Dad passed. Mom at 92 still attends a peace vigil every week and is an activist.
I just sent her the link. I recognize some of the names and I'm sure she knows a lot of your mom's friends. Willing to bet your mom knows or knew of my parents.Last edited by Trek420; 10-23-2013 at 09:10 AM.
