She homeschooled us.

She has been growing gardens. She makes delicious soup. She, my mother, Marilyn Kathleen Mitchell (Morehead), was born on a Tuesday, like Katie (her firstborn), on the 3rd of July, 1951, in Seattle, Washington (WA), USA, to her mother, Dwana Picket, and to her father, Richard "Dick" Erwin Morehead. Before Marilyn's 3rd birthday, she and her family moved to Beaverton. After that, they moved to Eugene before her 13th birthday to live in a house her dad built. After a year, they moved to Roseburg into another house he built.
