Happy Mother's Day

I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day! As I was reflecting this week my thoughts kept going back to my mother. I only had her a short fourteen years, but what an impact she made on my life. My mom could take nothing almost and make it into a meal. She quilted and sewed with perfection. She also loved to work in her flower and vegetable gardens. Mama instilled the love of reading into her children as well. I can truly say she was a Proverbs 31 woman. What a godly heritage she left behind and I pray I leave one behind to my children and grandchildren. I guess I got my love for sewing and reading from her as well as making jelly, etc. If I could, I would love to say thanks for all the things she passed on to me and for the love that was given.

I searched for a good picture of my mother and me and had a hard time finding one. This one is made in front of her flower gardens. I guess it is around 1960 in this picture.

This is a picture made of  my family last year. It includes both daughters and my grandson. Next
 year there will be another grandson added to our family! How thankful I am
for my family and so glad to be their Mom and Nana.

Happy Mother's Day!

I wish I had known your mom but I know her daughter and I think they must be very much alike. Happy Mother's to you!
