Reality
It has been a bit since I updated the page. Apologies.
As many of my customers know, my Mother was having some health issues. After much work we finally had her on the mend. Her home care nurses were impressed with how well she was doing. She sat and did four puzzles over the past two months.
Laughing about Ball Room Dancing on Monday. Tuesday afternoon, she wound up taking a sudden turn for the worst. She was transported to the Dove House in Westminster early Sunday morning about 3am. I was with her when she went to the Lord at 8:30pm Sunday evening.
Please understand that it was my mother who believed in our dream of buying Taney Service Center. It was her that loaned us the money, not the bank. She saw the investment was sound and saw the dream also. Moving her to Taneytown from Rockville was quite the culture shock for her back in 2010. No longer could she drive 10-15 minutes and get Thai, Greek or whatever carryout. Then she had to adjust, which she did.
She loved her Kennies Market, Food Lion, Hair Talk and of course, breakfast at Thunderhead Bowl on Sundays. Shopping trips became more fun, Hanover, Westminster and the occasional Mr. Ed's Elephant Museum trip. Taneytown and this area was her home. I am happy to know that even though many did not know her personally, she always loved how we are a true community, people talked to each other. Something that suburban Rockville lost some decades ago.
Faith and I are taking this week off to get all the arrangements done and the legal stuff taken care of.
We ask all of our customers to understand if phone calls take longer or go unanswered at the shop. WE HAVE NO ANSWERING MACHINE!
Please also be nice to Brentt, Bob and Jerry. They are doing many jobs.
Be sure to reach out to those in your lives, make sure they know you love them. Tell them. Words carry much power. Life is short and you may have to live the rest of your life knowing those words said............
