~Happy Mothers Day~

Mothers Day today, but I don't think we

need a special day to remember our

moms. I bet I think of mine just about

every day, mainly because I have so

many things around my house that

were hers. I have lots of things that

I can even remember where she had

them placed. I have vases that she

used lots of times, mainly because

she loved flowers and all summer

long she had fresh flowers every

where, from all gardens she had

outside.
That photo of my mom up top, is how I

really remember her. Cooking

and making goodies for us. We

always had very good meals and

deserts were wonderful..She made

a killer lemon meringue pie that

was delicious and my dads favorite.

I think one of the best things I have

of hers is her recipe box and cook

books. I have some dating back to

the 1920's. Every recipe of moms

was great and many I use to this

day! :-)
I don't have a lot of photos of her

and I, only a few. The one there was

taken at Bond Falls in the UP, a

beautiful place that we always went

to when I visited and mom and dad

made a trip there every year. There

were steps that went down one side

to the bottom, then there was only a

path through the woods to climb up

the other side back to the top..Mom

made that climb when she was 78

years old, the last time she went. It

was and I'm sure still is a beautiful spot.

That photo was taken on Mothers Day

when I was about 12..That's my sister

Gayle in the center, we were on our way

to church, you can see one of the flower

beds behind us where Mom got her

flowers to put in the house. Those were

the good times.. :-)

I look at these old photos and remember

all the wonderful times, my parents were

both alive and I had my sister Gayle then.

Ive not seen or spoken or been in contact

with her since 1990. We did not part friends

and its something I don't talk about at all.

But I miss her, she lives in Hawaii.

My boy Donnie phoned this morning which

sure made my day. Hes all the way in

Wisconsin with his mom and dad, but

thought of me.. That sure makes me feel

good..Hes a good kid. He is not related

to me at all, other than just being a dear

dear friend, but I tell everyone hes my

son. I love him as much as if he was, and

I tell his mom and dad how grateful I am

that they share him with me.. Ive known

Donnie since 1984.. hes stuck by me all

these years, and has proven himself to be

a wonderful man. Its good to hear from at

least one of my boys...

Well I'm done for today, I have no idea of

what I'm going to make for my dinner, since

it is a holiday I may make my very best

favorite, fries n gravy. I love that more than

any other food... But its also the very best.

If you have never put brown gravy on fries

try it.. Its better than cheese or chili on them.

Trust me, ive been eating this since I was

2 years old. :-)

I hope your having a great weekend, ours is

turning out to be nice, I'm glad, Penny is

putting in her garden! I cant wait till she shares

the harvest with me, which I know she will..

In the meantime, I'm still a most GORGEOUS
WEEBLE.. Keep well and God Bless...

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you 'friend'.

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
