Yep. Off to my parents' place for dinner right now. See you later, I hope!

[SAMWolf]

Nice poem Victoria. Call your mom yet?

[JustAmy]

My Mom with all five of us in 1947!!
My Mother is almost hiding; she is holding my youngest brother.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Call your mom yet?

I did, but she was going out, so we got to talk just for a few minutes. I'll call back later this evening. Did you have a nice get-together with the wife and kids?

[Victoria Delsoul]

See ya later, AC. Have a good time.

[Victoria Delsoul]

That's a lovely pic, Amy. Thanks for sharing those precious moments with us.

I'll be back later, I need to do a few things around here.

Awesome photo, I love it! Where are you in the photo, Amy?

[JustAmy]

I'd Rather

I'd rather be a Mother ...
than anyone on earth

Bringing up a child or two ...
of unpretentious birth

I'd rather nurse a rosy babe ...
with warm lips on my breast

Than wear a queen's medallion ...
above a heart less blessed.

I'd rather tuck a little child ...
all safe and sound in bed

Than twine a chain of diamonds ...
about my foolish head.

I'd rather wash a smudgy face ...
with round, bright baby eyes,

Than paint the pageantry of fame ...
or walk among the wise

~ Greetings From The Heart ~

[JustAmy]

Thank you ....

I was the oldest of five so I was the tallest when I was nine.

Oooops, did I just tell me age?

I hope others will post family pictures. I wish my scanner was working. Darn it.

[visualops]

Wow! Look at the hairstyle!
I had very long hair as a child, and sometimes would make 2 braids and wrap them around my head.

[deadhead]

You have a beautiful family, Amy...and you are so pretty. Ok, I have been inspired... I love old photos, hope you don't mind if I share a couple.

[JustAmy]

Thank you.

Oh ... please do share!!

I love old photos. I've been going through what I had already scanned.

[Kudsman]

Happy Mother's day to all the Moms and Grandmoms.

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Kudsman.

I hope you are having a Happy Mother's Day with your family.

And a Happy Mother's Day to Mrs. Kudsman!!!

[Kudsman]

Yup. We are in between stops for the day. Have a great one. CU L8TR.

My Mother's Eyes
1929
by L. Wolfe Gilbert / Abel Baer
Vaudevillian Georgie Jessel's theme song.

Back in childhood days,
I can remember loving caresses showered on me.
Mother's eyes would gaze at me so tender,
What was their meaning? Now I can see.

One bright and guiding light,
That taught me wrong from right,
I found in my mother's eyes.
Those baby tales she told,
That road all paved in gold,
I found in my mother's eyes.

Just like a wandering sparrow,
One lonely soul.
I walked the straight and narrow,
To reach my goal.
God's gift sent from above,
A real unselfish love,
I found in my mother's eyes.

When I'm all alone, no one around me,
I find the future dark as can be.
Sorrows I have known, always surround me,
Then through the shadows, I always see.

One bright and guiding light,
That taught me wrong from right,
I found in my mother's eyes.
Those baby tales she told,
That road all paved in gold,
I found in my mother's eyes.

Just like a wandering sparrow,
One lonely soul.
I walked the straight and narrow,
To reach my goal.
God's gift sent from above,
A real unselfish love,
I found in my mother's eyes.
