Missing Mom

I was looking at that picture of myself and reminded of my mother, Margaret. She had gorgeous auburn hair. When she became ill, with cancer, her hair lost it's luster. She began to wear wigs. One Sunday, she put on her trusty auburn wig and put a fancy pill box hat on top, attached with a pin. Well, Pastor Brendle visited us after church and was humored when my mother removed her hat, forgetting it was pinned on, hair and all. *giggle* MY hair is quite real, and while I am blessed with thick hair, I shall color it red, and think of my mother's antics. ;) She would be 85 years old, on Sunday. I miss you, Mama.

Traditions

Im a traditional girl. I'm finding that I really miss the Christmases of my childhood. My mom and dad always had big parties. Out of town family came to our house for two weeks. Oh the food! My cousin would play the piano and everyone would sing. It was such a beautiful time in my life.

Now, it's just my little family the kids have become rather self centered and have no interest or desire in traditions. I want my childhood Christmas back. ;)

Blowing the Dust Off

Has it really been since April since I posted? What have I been doing since April? I think life has been in constant motion. Really. I need to clean this place up a bit, get rid of the snow flakes (it's June, for crying out loud) and update you all on the latest from our neck of the woods. :)
