Quote
“God knows that a mother needs fortitude and courage and tolerance and flexibility and patience and firmness and nearly ever other brave aspect of the human soul. But because I happen to be a parent of almost fiercely maternal nature I praise casualness. It seems to me the rarest of virtues.
—Phyllis McGinley American pet and author (1905 – 1978)
Happy Mother’s Day to my favorite mothers – and everyone else.
My grandma
My daughter (and her husband)
My mom (and her sister)
My sister (and one of her grandsons)
My daughter
My mother in law
Yeah, well, not a great picture - but they tried! My blessings.
Strawberries!
I’m dreaming of strawberries. From my yard, not the grocery store.
I had a little spot that I tried to grow roses in. Fail. So the roses got dug up and the area just kinda went wild.
I thought herb garden. But this spot is in the front yard, and herb gardens get wild and crazy. Just part of their charm, but maybe not in the front yard.
Few other things crossed my mind, even trying those roses again. But then I decided strawberries.
Now, I garden. Grow some veggies. Couple flowers now and then. Nothing major.
My challenge? To take an overgrown plot and turn it into strawberries for the table and my stomach.
I think I can!
Family Time
Tomorrow I’ll be back to the usual dog and dog training and dog behavior, and well, just dog chatter.
But indulge me today. As you may -or may not – know, I have the five best kids in the world. No brag, just fact. And some of them married – I adore both my sons-in-law as well as my new daughter-in-law. Lucky me!
Three grandsons. So far! And I don’t get to see any of them often enough. Even the ones who still live here with me. Silly working for a living and school thing….
But we all got together yesterday. And I had a great time.
How many will fit at the table? As many as we can!
How many three year olds does it take to blow out a candle?
This time next year - you watch out, I'll be blowing out candles too!
Doesn't matter if you are three or 84 - you still like to blow out a candle!
All my boys look GOOD in red!
And was there any entertainment?
Other than sitting and rocking?
There is always picture taking going on!
More rocking....
And we like to talk -almost as much as we like to rock!
We waited for the tsunami to hit Hawaii.....
Its a tough job but someone has to hold the baby!
Its a shame that baby never gets held!
Poor baby! Stuck alone! All the time!
Round and round the train goes!
The Wii doer and the Wii watchers.
My own personal IT guy - he fixed my website - Thanks!!!!
Back to dogs tomorrow! Thanks for your indulgence today!
