Arlene enjoyed picking out and sending greeting cards, reading books, watching movies, buying and planting flowers each spring, preparing for and celebrating birthdays and holidays. Experiences: seeing the Night Before Christmas at the Guthrie Theatre, eating dinner on a train, a dog sled ride, a night in a hotel on Mackinac Island, MI and a horse drawn carriage ride. A family trip by Amtrack to WI Dells. Mom enjoyed ensuring we had enough food, clothing, lessons, experiences; we never went without.
