Mother's Day 2010

Just a couple of pictures of the flowers Chad and Meagen and Emi brought to me today for Mothers' Day.  Thanks!!  We had dinner and Kristie and Patty came over too.  Alex cleaned his room (spic and span) for me for Mother's Day and Tom called to wish me a Happy Mother's Day also.  Earlier in the day, Sam and Jenn and the kids called as they were driving home from the beach, where they had spent a few days enjoying the sand and sun and water.  Jim treated me to so many things on Friday, Saturday and today that I'm not even going to attempt to name them all.  He was so sweet to me.  Thanks to every one for being so nice.  I love you all.  Who needs a corsage when you get so much more!!!

Mother's Day

I was just thinking about Mom and thought I'd post this picture of her.  She probably wouldn't think it was a very good picture of herself, but I love it.  It was taken on Mother's Day 1979.  So mom was 59 years old and Dad was my age.  It's just so Mom and Dad to me!  Notice the twinkle in both Dad's and Mom's eyes.  And notice that Dad got Mom a corsage.  I love that!!  No one ever gets me a corsage and I would love it!!  None of my guys know I'd love that and they don't read my blog, so they'll probably never know.  Heaven forbid that I should say it out loud:  "I want a corsage."  Just doesn't sound right. 

I really miss Mom.  She was a remarkable woman and the best mom ever.  Happy Mother's Day!!
