They had lots of adventures, including kayaking in a fjord when the tour guide casually mentioned that a famous Nazi battleship had sunk there, destroyed by the British, and remained there in ruins. ![]() This spring, she and my stepdad went to Norway. My point is that she’s always been good at living 150% of life. It was supposed to be operated by two people, but there she was, cranking both parts by herself in her tank top and shorts (I have pictures somewhere.) She drank something like a quart of self-pressed apple cider and then promptly got indigestion, because that’s what happens when you drink a quart of apple cider. ![]() ![]() We stumbled on to one of those Pioneer Days events in a state park, and one of the exhibits was an apple cider press that you could try out yourself with local apples. It’s pretty much what I’d expect from her at this point after all, I have a very vivid memory of a trip we took to the north Georgia mountains when I was a teenager. This is the story of how my mom is a total badass. ![]()
