Happy Mother's Day

I hope you all have a Happy Mother's Day.

 I won't be able to be with my daughter and grandsons, but the love between us will span the miles.  I will also be cherishing the happy memories of my sweet mother.

Here is a picture of my mother holding me, circa 1945-46 and one of me holding my little girl, 1966.

Always,

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

I hope all of you mothers are having a lovely day. The weather here is gorgeous for a change. I talked to my daughter and my grandsons on the phone and also my sister. Unfortunately, I won't be seeing any of them today -- the family is so scattered. The above photo is my daughter at six weeks old and me. Don't I look like a proud mama? I was so happy to have a little girl!

I plan to plant a few tomato plants today which I have been procrastinating on doing. Ken and I will probably go out to eat dinner this afternoon.

I made $114 on my yard sale yesterday -- not bad since I only did it for two hours. Then I went to an auction and spent $38.00. In one pocket, out the other.

Are any of you on Facebook? It has been so much fun connecting with people I have not seen for years and years. Cheryll -- you know one of them is you! Another is someone I haven't thought of for 50 years. He was the star of our sixth grade operetta and I had a slight crush on him after that. Well -- there he was on FB yesterday asking to be a friend (you have to ask on FB). Turns out he had a crush on me at the same time (we were about 12 years old I think) and neither of us knew about the other's crush. So funny! I have also connected with a boy who was one of my friends when we were only about three or four years old. That was really incredible. It is so nice to see that these people have gone on to have happy and successful lives with families and even grandchildren now. The circle of life........

Have a happy day, dear bloggers!

Always,

BACK TO BLOGLAND

I'm back!!!!!!!!! I left for Massachusetts on May 8 and returned on the 15th and have been totally out of blogland since then. I wanted to put a picture on which I was waiting to get developed and just too, too busy to devote to it.

My daughter and family live in Andover, Mass. which is very close to New Hampshire so I fly into Manchester instead of Boston. A very nice airport -- fairly small and easy to get to and park, etc.

I had a wonderful Mothers Day with my daughter and son-in-law and two grandsons. We drove up to Wolfeboro, NH which we all love and wish we lived there. I am showing a picture of my favorite little restaurant and as you see, they are looking for help. Hmmmm......

Also here is a picture of the original home of Harriet Beecher Stowe -- the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." It is located in Andover and is presently being used as a dorm and faculty residence for Phillip's Academy at Andover. This is a very exclusive and well-known private boarding school which includes John F. Kennedy, Jr. (maybe senior, too), George Bush (1 I think) as their alumni.

Here is also a picture of Lake Winnepasaukee (sp?). and Wolfeboro is one of the small towns that sit by this very large lake.

Ok, that is it for now -- I will write more later.

Happy Trials, oops, Trails, everyone!!
