Just so you know...

....I started a family recipe website. I sent out invites, but I may have missed someone, so if you didn't get the invite, please email me! It's a website that we can all go to to find all of our tried and true family recipes that we all love, plus any new recipes people have found they like in recent years! Please feel free to leave comments if you think my instructions on recipes are unclear or incorrect, and please add to the recipe list! This way we will always know where we can go for a recipe, without searching through a zillion recipe books! All you have to do is click on a label to get to where you want! Hopefully this will be something that will help each one of us out!

and ended his junior year.
Where oh where have my little ones gone?

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Congrats on Your JD Eric!

YOU DID IT!

Congratulation on making it through Law School.

What an accomplishment.

Thank you my sweet family!

Thank you all for a wonderful Mother's Day!

From the gifts and the great food, to the visits,

t o the songs and the phone calls-

from places around the world, it

meant so very much to me.

I love you !

Happy Mother's Day!

I came across these quotes, and these people are far more eloquent than I. Their words state so perfectly what I feel and I wanted to share them. Happy Mothers Day Mom! I love you so much!


"All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother." -- Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

"God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers." -- Jewish proverb

"Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother." -- Lin Yutang

"Grandmother(Granny) - a wonderful mother with lots of practice." --Author Unknown

"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." -- Washington Irving (1783-1859)



And finally, this song always reminds me of you. I feel blessed every day, and know that my Father in Heaven loves me, because I have you as my mother.



Whenever I hear the song of a bird Or look at the blue, blue sky, Whenever I feel the rain on my face Or the wind as it rushes by, Whenever I touch a velvet rose Or walk by our lilac tree, I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world Heav’nly Father created for me.
He gave me my eyes that I might see The color of butterfly wings. He gave me my ears that I might hear The magical sound of things. He gave me my life, my mind, my heart: I thank him rev’rently For all his creations, of which I’m a part. Yes, I know Heav’nly Father loves me.

Missing my girls

It was so wonderful having almost two weeks with my sweet
granddaughters and their amazing mom. I miss those smiles
every morning and the way they make my heart smile all day.
We got to spend some time with Patty in Minni which
was lots of fun.
Actually we wished we were enjoying a little of the sun and warmth
Mary Rose was experiencing in Florida;)
I love and feel so blessed to have children that can "Turn the
World on with their smiles"!
We had so much fun and just hanging out was great.
We all felt sad we were not there to hug Katchie and give her
our smiles as she had her surgery. She is a trooper and is doing
so remarkably well. WE LOVE YA KATCH!!
