Mother, Let me count the Ways. . . .

On this last Mother's day, Ruby gave me a book she wrote for me while she was at school.  It's extra fun with all her pictures she put on each page.  For example, the last page has a face that is asleep with a bubble coming out of it's wide open mouth (perfect circle).  The bubble has "OYOY" in it.  On the page for X, she drew a picture of Jarom with his arm that broke as if it were an x-ray.  For K, she drew two big lips.  G, H, I, and S don't have any pictures.  Her picture of mac and cheese requires some understanding of the text to comprehend.  On N, she drew a picture of "The Book of Mormin" (Mormon).   I have wanted to share her creativity here, but I'm only just getting to it.  Here it is:
