Susan's Blog

I enjoy reading Susan's blog and in the last one she talks about my mother. When Helen and I were pretty grown up our mother informed us that in the future when we wanted something, call her mother. If it was just talking, call her Gussie. I do not know why she picked that but it was her choice not ours and we honored it because she really was more like a friend although she was a good mother. Adults still called her Edna when it wasn't Mrs. Burkhardt.
