Happy Mothers Day!

This is a photo of my mom and grandmother. God bless and keep them close to our hearts even though they are no longer with us.

I would like to wish all a "Happy Mothers Day"! It does not matter if you have just children, but those who have "special" children (cats, dogs, birds, etc.), they are also to be included in this day. The reason I feel this is, because my 4 my cats, are just like my kids and I love them to no end. So please, wish all those women in your life a Happy Mothers Day.

I also want to wish Alice a special "Happy Mothers Day", because since mom has passed, and even before, she has always been as close as a mother could be. I love and miss her and wish her my best.

Please wish Alice a Happy Birthday on May 16th.

Here is a poem I came across that applies to all of us.

My Mother

For as long as I can remember

you have been by my side

to give me support

to give me confidence

to give me help

For as long as I can remember

you have always been the person I looked up to

so strong

so sensitive

so pretty

For as long as I can remember

and still today

you are everything a mother should be

For as long as I can remember

you have always provided stability within our family

full of laughter

full of tears

full of love

So much of what I have become

is because of you

and I want you to know

that I appreciate you, thank you

and love you

more than words can express

-Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

I hope you all enjoy this poem, it kind of says it all.

It has been a quiet week here, nothing really happening. Amy is still waiting to have the baby. She and Jason are staying with Diane and Michael until the baby is here. Jason does not want her left alone just in case the contractions start while he is at work.

Everything is status quo with Sue and the family. John and Nan are still down at Chris and Kim's house watching the grand kids. Chris and Kim are due home today. From what I understand, they should be home about 5pm. Please pray for a safe journey home for them.

Me, not much is happening. I filled the car for the second time and am getting 35.5 mpg. That is good, considering that it is new and not broken in yet. I spoke with the dealership mechanics and they said that when it does break in, I should be getting 40 with out a problem. I am just glad I am not getting less than I got with the Cavalier. I do love the Vibe, it is so roomy, a lot more than the Cavalier was.

A special hi to Ron and Jenny. Happy Mothers Day, Jenny. I am sure all your babies wish you that as well. I so look forward to seeing you again in June. Miss you both.

As always, I keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Please stay healthy, happy and safe.
