Happy Mother's Day

In spite of everything, I had a wonderful Mother's Day. First I delivered a dozen white roses to the grave and then came home to Jon and Katie cleaning the house for me. They also did the shopping and cooking. Well done!
Tom came home and shortly after that, my two granddaughters! We had friends, family, and cousins all day.

My children also bought me a beautiful gold slide for my necklace. It is in the shape of two hearts intertwined with everyone's birthstones on it. Even the girls! I cried! :)

Thank you kids! I love you all

Good bye to a beloved Mother

When I first started to blog, I did it because my sister had one and so did my son. I found that my 80 + mother really enjoyed reading what was going on in our lives and that of her grandchildren. I took pictures of silly things and serious things and put them up on this blog so she could laugh, smile, and admire.
On April 3, 2010, we lost our mother to a massive stroke. Fortunately, her suffering only lasted 5 days, but that in itself was too long.
Writing this blog does seem a little empty because with the advent of facebook, I do not really know who would read this now. I am still going to continue to post messages and pictures because, "you never know" She may just be reading this now.
Rest in Peace Mom :)
