Betty’s Daughter.

Rosie the Riveter — A gift to Mum, and too small, she modified by adding a zipper.

Mum always had her back to us.

This wasn’t deliberate. She was just always busy doing something.

Whether the dishes, the laundry, the floor sweeping, the yard tending, the endless sewing……this was a woman who valued staying on task until the work was done.

Or, at least, this was how we came to understand her.
