Orioles are taunting me, as I turn into a version of my mom!

As the years go by do you find yourself turning into your mother, your father, a grandparent, an uncle??

I do!

Those of you who have the pleasure to know my mother, know she is just about the best person on the earth. So as I find myself doing the same things that I used to make fun of her for doing, I can only hope that I become a tiny bit as good as she is.

Today I caught myself sitting first in line at a 4 way stop sign. When suddenly a taunting "oriole bird song" (please click on this link so you can hear the oriole) came drifting through my open car window on this beautiful day. Since I know the orioles love the high tree tops, there I sat....listening.....looking.... trying to make my eyes find that elusive oriole's call.

A few moments later, I got the friendly "toot" from the car behind me. A nice older man smiled at me as I waved my apologies and moved along.

I did not find that oriole, but I found that I was thinking about what a great mom I have to make me appreciate hearing something as simple as the song of the oriole.

I am a Putnamaniac because the orioles taunt me and make me realize what a great momma I have!
