Yesterday a photo of my dad and uncle was posted for Memorial Day honoring not only those who were lost defending our country, but also celebrating that my uncle who served is still enriching the lives of those around him.
This photo was taken just a few days ago of Uncle Dexie.
How many computers do you see?
I miss you Mom.
Today's Mon Funday hostess is covered in chocolate. If you don't believe me, just go check out JO at Chocolate and Other Things. She has this to say about our assignment,
"March 2nd is my Mom's birthday and was her mother's birthday as well. For this week's Fun Monday, tell me something fun about you mother and/or her mother. What fun, weird, laughable memories do you have of your Mom or your Grandma?
These photos are of my mom. I think of her everyday. She was a Master Teacher and loved being in the classroom. She was my first teacher at a two-room country school north of Antlers, Oklahoma, called Kellond. We lived on the "teacherage." (If you don't know what a teacherage is, think parsonage.) She was a talented seamtress and made all my clothes. At the time, I wanted "bought" clothes, but now realize I had my very own haute coutre closet. She even designed and made my wedding dress. She was also a great cook. She made a mean peanut butter and banana sandwich.
Mom was probably the best Grandmother ever. Her two granddaughters were treated to about anything they ever wanted...like warm brownies 24 hours a day.
When I lost her, there were no words left unsaid. She knew she was loved. When I see the sun's rays or the stars twinkle at night, it just reminds me of her beautiful smile.
If you are lucky enough to still have your mom, make sure you tell her you love her today.

Happy Birthday to Jo's mom and to her grandmother.
