Okay, so, being the PITA that I am, I have a few photos to share... I can never just pick one or two LoL

My Mommy is Joann Myrtle McDade Ness Plienis... not necessarily all those names at the same time *g* She was born on April Fool's Day in 1952 to Joe and Ann McDade, the second of five children. She married young to Michael Plienis and within three years was divorced. In 1977, she met John Ness, who came complete with two children from his previous marriage. On April 15, 1979, they were married. Mom acquired two children, worked in the 7-11 that she and my father owned, and had a high school education. After a miscarriage, I came along on April 3, 1981, and she stopped working to spend all her time with me (and who wouldn't want to spend all their time with me?!). In 1995, my mother graduated from nursing school. In 1997, she and my father separated, and by 1999, my mother was re-married to Michael Plienis, who, in the interim, had been married and had two children. Again, Mom obtained two step-children.
