THE JODE!!!!!



Taylor here. This is my first post to my blog and I am so excited. I know people have been waiting for months for this post. This post is dedicated to my mother. For those of you that don't know her this picture explains it all. My mother is one of the most amazing women and is probably the nicest person you will ever meet. I am going to write down a few memories of my mother and I hope that you will comment on your favorite memory of The Jode too. Here we go Josephine!!!

  • I remember the Jode giving me tabasco sauce and hitting me with a wooden spoon as a child to discipline me.
  • I remember the Jode making a fruit or veggie tray for me and my friends whenever we came over.
  • I remember pushing the Jode through Disney World for days in her wheelchair while she had a bad leg. Heroic!
  • I remember my mother cooking wonderful meals for the fam. Shepherds Pie was my favorite.
  • I remember my mother wearing her pretty glasses and telling me that she was livid in high school whenever I was one or two minutes late after curfew. (Only one or two)
  • I remember swimming with The Jode & Ronny, a cute dolphin, while on a family cruise.
  • I remember going to the beach in Cancun with my mother and Aunt Linda. We looked great. I was in a bright yellow outfit while my mom was in lime green with a lovely green hat. Linda was wearing a purple outfit. Let's just say we looked colorful even though we were the whitest people on the beach.
  • I remember my mother being caring as she picked me up from Magic Waters as I waited with the authorities.

We love you Jode. Feel free to post your favorite memories of the Jode. Luv u!!!

I loved when the Jode would escort us to the condo so we did not misbehave!! She's not a regular mom... she's a cool mom!!

Taylor - you so deserved more than just tobasco sauce. Your mom deserves a medal just for surviving you.
