Far From The Mother's Day Crowd

 Our son and grandchildren came over for Mother's Day yesterday. Here I am with Mike. Goodness, I am shrinking!


And here he is with the girls and my Phil.


They brought this pretty card.


Our middle granddaughter, Dara, had baked me cookies!


And they brought this huge beautiful flower basket with a big hook to put in the ground and hang it from.


We do not know what the flowers are. Does anyone know?



During the visit, Simba retreated to another room and hid under the chair behind the shoes. Though the girls always give him lots of pets, he prefers his own peace and quiet. He came out after they left.


This is actually a big improvement for him. He usually runs down to the basement. But then again, the girls like to go down there and play the electric drums.


“Isn’t everything you have and everything you are sheer gifts from God? So what’s the point of all this comparing and competing? You already have all you need.”

I am shrinking also, last time I was checked I was down 2 inches, but that was about 3 years ago..think how thin we would be if we could grow taller. ha ha. that plant is gorgeous and the colors of my moss rose and I want one for my porch.. are they impatiens?

BEAUTIFUL flowers and family. :-) Our Penelope kitty does the same thing. She will visit for a wee bit, then off she goes to her own peaceful area.

Sunday Sunset

 I snapped these from the Target parking lot. The sun had just gone down, but the trees were hiding the very bottom part of the sunset. Life...
