Take me back Star Wars...

I remember seeing Star Wars @ the old nostalgic Glenwood Theater down @ 91st & Metcalf ... whoa! Talk about a theater ... nothing compares to that theater ... definitely was the BEST! So when my friend Anne asked me if I could do a Stars Wars theme for her twin boys (Luke & Tanner who turned 6 today) ... I was all over it! I loved thinking back to the 1st Stars Wars movie...definitely the best one (in my opinion!) ... best scene, hands down, was the crazy bar scene with those crazy characters ... another fave movie of my mom's too ... course she talked through most of the movie ... but that was a "Colleen" movie trait ... really miss that now! She would've loved these ... thank you Anne for the memories!

Isn't she lovely?

Every time I hear that song...my mom comes to mind...she was definitely lovely in so many ways. I could call my mom anytime and she was always cheerful and had some nugget of truth to share with me...usually a Bible verse she had read that day. As my brother Eric said, "mom was always good for small talk"...I loved talking to my mom about something funny Hannah & Hank did or said...I could always count on her to laugh or cry with me...my mom was a lover of life and people and not a victim of boredom. What a legacy she left for me and many others...if I could be just an inkling of what she was...what a blessing that would be! Creating Colleen's Cakes & Cookies in her memory is a way for me to keep her legacy going and giving as she always so freely did...unconditionally...willing, able and ready to serve. Love & miss you mom!
