A DAY TO REMEMBER

Mother’s day, 2009....
a day I won’t forget.

For over a month before mother’s day,
my daughters were creating
a surprise gift for me….
They were real sneaky about it.
I usually know when things are
happening around me….
but this time…I didn’t even suspect.
The gift that they created
really touched my heart….
even now when I think about it….
I’m teary eyed.
I love my girls….
they grew up so fast….
and now have families of their own.
What they did, showed their love….
I am so proud of them….
and will always cherish the
wonderful picture book
of memories.

I will share a few pages with you.

Thank you girls for giving me one of the

most memorable mother's day ever....

I love you.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Just want to wish each of you mothers
a very nice mother's day....enjoy!

Love you all!

GUESSING GAME ANSWER

Ok....I guess....since no one wanted to guess...
I'll have to tell you the answer.

The only comments I got were from my sister...
Janet from Writing in the Blackberry Patch and...
my cousin, Vera from Intouch With.
They wouldn't guess because they knew the answer
and didn't want to give it away...so......
for all you others......
the "old" picture is of myself and...
my sister, Janet.
We were just messing around that day....
and both had on wigs....
oh what I wouldn't give....
to be that size again...
the year was 1971....
I was 23 yrs old...
been married for four years...
and already had one daughter.

Love to see one of your "old" pictures.

Walking around the yard....

Don't know what these are called...

do you? Are they bluebells?

These are about ready to bloom.
I don’t know what these are called…
some kind of a “wort”, I think.
I love the blooms……
I’ll post them later.

Look at the BIG buds on the peonies.

GUESSING GAME

While looking through old photos....

I found one that I wanted to share.

My regular followers just might

be able to guess who these two

young girls are.....give it a try.

I'll be back to let you know who they are.

DISCARDED

MaMa is feeling discarded.

A few years ago....which feels like decades....

my granddaughters spent about

every weekend at my place.

We would drive down on Friday evening....

they would spend the weekend.....

go to Sunday School with me....

on Sunday my daughter would come pick them up

or if she couldn't.....we would take them home.

They are older now.....

the weekend stays have ended....

Shayna works or has plans with her friends....

Marlee has plans with her friends....

I miss that.

MaMa is feeling discarded.

So....this evening I decided that if I was going

to get a bouquet of Sweet Williams this spring......

I would have to pick them myself.

I did.

They smell so good.

But I still miss the girls.
