In the spirit of the last meme

I decided to take a snapshot of two of the notes my mother left when she was last here sitting my cats. One has been redacted, because another person was participating in the note-leaving process, and left her full name and phone number, so I'm not going to put that on the internets.





For the record, she's exactly like this in person, too.

Paze sez:

Someone else beat me to it: I was going to ask if your mom had studied calligraphy (or had taken a general penmanship class where calligraphy was taught), because that's what it looks like.

It also look runic. Actually, it looks quite a bit like the hobbit handwriting (Bilbo's and Frodo's, at least) that we see in the LotR films. Very pretty.

My mom had to take penmanship when she was in school, and as a result she became both right handed (after she had her favored left hand tied behind her back for a few months!) and a very lovely handwriter. I sometimes wish my left hand had been tied behind my back when I was learning to write, because my handwriting is so very ugly. :(

My mother was taught how to write by Irish nuns. I think that accounts for the calligraphy. :)
