I’m borrowing Nie’s Friday Face idea and am kicking it of (on a Sunday, I know) with my lovely MOM! Read on to learn a bit more about my fantastic mom!
Name: Janet Elvrum
Hometown: Anacortes
Children: Phillip Whitman aka “the dedalator”
Hannah Jean the beauty queen or ” The Little”
Izak Perry,”Skron”
What are you most proud of as a mother?
The unique individuals that my children have become, witnessing the kindness and love they share with their partners .
Is there anything that you would have done differently?
There’s a lot that I should have done differently, more like it.
I love getting to know my children as they are now.
What is the most difficult part about being a mother?
I think the biggest challenge is when there have been difficulties in their personal life and I need to stay out of it since they are adults now. Nurturing from a distance instead of the comforts of the nest that we provided in the growing up years.
When did you realize that you weren’t a kid anymore?
When I was told that I was a good candidate for a new hip joint.
What is one quality of your mom that you admire most?
I love my mother’s fun loving attitude and love of spontaneity.
What is a challenging thing you’ve done in your life that you are proud of?
I stick to things that come easy or that are fun.I tend to run away from stressful situations if I can. Climbing mountains and river rafting were challenging and a ton of fun. I wish I could add a few more things to my list like those.
Favorite part of your home?
I love the patio in the spring and summer, which is now, but in the winter I love the kitchen area.
What is your favorite time of day?
I love the early morning hours when the birds sing and the rest of the house is still asleep.
Favorite vacation destination?
I don’t like to go to the same place over and over. Someplace warmer in the winter months… that is a priority…where we can swim and eat fresh fruits.
Fantastic job on the first Friday Face! And what a great first face!
Nie would be proud!
A+ times 10!!! Great write up on ‘Jack of all trades, master of many” She can do anything.. she’s a Lowman through and through. I especially love her ‘spur of the moment’ spirit.
Her mama…
