Maggie. What a special story about your mother and daughter. Thanks for sharing it.

[dutchess]

I hear the traditional sounds of springtime Saturdays - Lawnmowers - and smell the scent of fresh cut grass!

We're hearing the all too frequent sounds of thunder and lightening here! But on the other hand, this way I can freep guilt free as I really need to get into my flowerbeds...but alas...can't LOL

[dutchess]

Hi Meekie. I'm blessed to have both my parents although dad who turns 81 this year is showing signs of Alzheimers. So difficult to watch....but how blessed I have been.

Hi nicmarlo. What a darling "week in review" you've come up with. Thanks! You add so much to this site!

[dutchess]

Had planned to spend more time here but another storm front is coming through...need to shut down and unplug the phone...modem got zapped last year! Hope to be back later! Have a good day everyone!

[dansangel]

Love the picture of our "conservative friends" in Africa ((((((((jwfiv))))))))

Hope you are having a relaxing and wonderful weekend!

Haven't seen you in a month of Sundays! Thank-you for the kind words and for stopping by for a visit.

We are surrounded by the love of those gone ahead - - - and in giving love and kindness to others, honor their memories, and love grows

Yes we are LadyX. Thank You for sharing about your Mom and your daughter, wow. Went to the cemetery today, brought a bouquet of flowers, a balloon and my Mom' favorites, one single red rose, and an American Flag. Also visited my Dad's and brother Gary's grave... We brought them all the same tokens of love to place on their grave

Please give your living mothers a hug for me...

And please give a hug to all your Mom's from Colleen too...Bless them all, Mom's are the best :-)

[dansangel]

The "devil" made me do it!

Yeah, right! : )

Hmmmmphh! Don't believe me, eh?

It's *hard* to be an angel all the time!

[dansangel]

Your story gave me chill bumps! How wonderful for your daughter that she was able to be comforted by her departed grandmother.

I often think that my own dear grandmother has been my guardian angel. I lost her when I was 13 and miss her dearly. She was always smiling and always had a kind word to say to her friends and family. When she died at the young age of 61 from kidney failure, my mother took it very badly - they were best friends.

I love to think that we will all be united once again. Your story gives me great hope that it *will* happen.

Happy Mother's Day, (((((((Ladyx))))))))

[dansangel]

Beautiful picture, ((((((((Gail))))))))

It brings back such warm memories.

Congratulations on your award - I read about it on last evening's thread!

Give Rocky a tummy rub and a scratch behind the ears from me!

Had planned to spend more time here but another storm front is coming through

Oh my, (((((dutchess)))))! We had three days in a row of that *stuff* here in Atlanta. Some bad flooding south of here thanks to all the rain we had. Went from one extreme to the other - from 4 years of a miserable drought to *all* of the lakes and rivers being above-level.

Stay safe - hope and pray that all is well out by you!

Great photo jwfiv! Thank You, hope you have a wonderful day! Above is a live cam from the Great South Bay, Long Island...a favorite spot of mine to have a diet coke and a bagel while reading the paper :-) (Hope this pic works)

Thank-you and I hope you have the same. Any time spent away from w-o-r-k (ugh!) is precious time indeed! :-)

"Please give your living mothers a hug for me..."

You know I wish I could!!! Thanks for the ping! I always love hearing bits and pieces of your event filled life as a grand American and a Marine! God bless and keep you LadyX!!!

This morning, I sat and wept while reading Luis' wonderful tribute to his mom. Tonight I sit and weep after reading your tale of your mom. Not really sad tears because the memories that ya'll have stirred are as much happy as they are sad.

It's been almost six years since Momma passed away here at home. I still miss her, but I know that she and my Grandmomma were with me on Feb 24. Lady X, I couldn't have survived the accident if two of my guardian angels hadn't been there.

I miss Granny and Baba, Grandmomma, Aunt Ethel, Aunt Nancy and Momma all year long. But Mothers Day always seems to be the day that I miss them the most. I don't know why.

[dixie sass]

Thank you for the lemonade. Delicious.

[dixie sass]

Oh LadyX, how true. Sit down with your parents, aunts, uncles, older cousins, even friends of your family. Take the time to listen to their stories and get names on those old photographs. This is your history, unique, one of a kind history.

Lady X, some of us are blessed with having known than one or two generations in the family. It's only recently that people have realized how important knowing about one's family is and to record it. I only know my Momma family, as my Daddy more or less cut himself off from his family. After his death though contact was established. And Kuzz, the Frey line is a good one.

Hugs to everyone. Take care.

Freeping and it's thundering and lighting!!! Lordy, Lordy, I'd be cowering under the bed!
