J.R., The Traveling Weird Mouse...by Jennie

My Mom's unique sense of humor, quirky-awesome style, fantastic sense of wonder and loving sensibilities shined through in everything she did. She sang, wrote music, played many instruments, drew, wrote stories, plays and poetry; she DANCED and danced and danced. She cooked, baked, ran a daycare, worked in telecommunications, studied and practiced reflexology, sewed, decorated, volunteered in countless organizations, and made everyone laugh, and see beauty in themselves they may have otherwise had trouble recognizing. As a parent, a mother, a soul mate and a best friend - there are no words to describe her magic. In every way, and through the medium of anything and everything she touched, my Mom CREATED and COMMUNICATED...LOVE. One of her many ongoing creative projects was a COMIC STRIP, about a little "weird mouse" named J.R. I have resurrected copies of over twenty of her J.R. comic strips; I've added color to them, and will post them here on her blog. ENJOY, and feel the love!
