about my mother

[Peggy Rowe @realpeggyrowe]

I can hear my mother: “Peggy Knobel Rowe, speaking to 500 executives in tennis shoes, socks, slacks, and a frumpy blouse? I taught you better!”

Such is life in my eighties: comfort over fashion! At least I combed my hair, wore lipstick, and a bra!

The good news?

@tony_cerino Absolutely. Fifteen years of strength and survival, marked by a little pink flower every October. Knowing that the gift was handmade by another survivor makes it even more special. It’s a beautiful reminder of hope, courage, and the connection between people who truly understand

I shared Bev’s story, a 15-year breast cancer survivor, who wears a pink flower for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A local blacksmith and his survivor wife, Jenn, sent us handmade gifts. Bev and I cherish them. #HOWEAWARDS2026 #HOWEAWARDS2026xDMD #Rowe

@deanrepdecor @mikeroweworks @lipstickfarmer Thank you for sharing this. I’ll tell my son about it and make sure he knows. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.

@erinbluetee2001 Oh my goodness, thank God your husband listened to that inner voice and went in right away! I’m so glad both events were caught early. It’s a blessing to have more time with our loved ones. Sending prayers for his continued health and strength. God is good!

When my husband had his horrific heart attack, I went into shock mode. No tears, just ‘numbness’ as the paramedic implored, “Stay with me, John; stay with me!” As the hours went on, and the prognosis was uncertain, I tried to imagine a future without the man who has been mine.

Growing up, playing games was as much a part of life as church, eating, and going to school. I learned early on how to win and how to lose…graciously.

It isn’t always easy, mind you, and sometimes I surprise myself…like last Thursday. When a woman at the next table called, “

I ran into Beverly this morning at the Blood Pressure Clinic. Naturally, I asked about the pretty little flower affixed to her right temple.

“It’s just a reminder to others that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month,” she told me. “Whenever I’m asked about it, I share it

Growing up, the most boring day of the week in our house was Sunday. Ours was a churchy family, and though Sunday School could be fun, the rest of the day was deadly dull—consisting of eating, reading the Sunday newspaper, and napping.

Of course, Sundays have come a long way

My son , Along the Old Tiburon Trail, where I often atone for my sins with a vigorous 8-mile ruck and film dirt-cheap commercials for Pure Talk on my iPhone, there’s a charming old gazebo where I sometimes pause to rest in the shade, gaze across the bay toward The Golden Gate

Mike Rowe had his mother, best selling author Peggy Rowe on his recent podcast.

After her daily morning swim, Peggy saw a woman's backside in the locker room. She had an unusual tattoo on her rear-end, so Peggy asked her about it.

You won't believe what it was. 😂
