While walking in the neighborhood this afternoon, I spoke to my mother and thanked her for inspiring the idea for this blog.  I tried to explain to her what I was endeavoring to do, but she sounded confused. I asked Mom whether she could answer one of the two questions that I have posed for Our Legacy, and she responded this way:

"I grew up, I got married, raised a family, and now I'm bitching.  What else is there to say?"

I'm not sure which question her response applies to. . . could be either one.  At any rate, it's at least a start!
