Special thanks to our Beverly for hosting Pink Saturday..Please stop by to visit her at How Sweet the Sound..we are also asked to share a link to a blogger new to ourselves this week, so I would like to introduce to you Red Gingham. Sarah lives in Auckland, New Zealand and I first saw her blog while participating in an apron swap! Be sure to visit Sarah, too!
I am going to indulge myself a bit today since tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I am so blessed to still have my mom alive and living nearby. I greatly admire my Mom, through good times and not so good times, she has been a steadying influence in our lives.
Mom was born in a little town in Washington State in 1927, next to the youngest of 6. Her dad worked for the County and her mom was a homemaker..I never met my grandma Faye as she passed away when Mom was still a teenager, and my Papa Jack passed away when I was about 6.
Mom has been a wonderful mom and grandma, always willing to drop everything, even call off work, if we needed help with anything. Also a good listening ear and a lot of fun!
Here are a few pictures of my mom Rosemary, hence the connection to Pink Saturday as her name contains a ROSE.

Anyway, indulge me for not having a lot of pink today, but I wanted to wish my Mom a very happy Mother’s Day! I love you Mom.

Such beautiful family memories! Happy Mothers' Day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day!!!!!!!!!! Spoil mom rotten while you can. I plan to do that with my mom too! I hope it is the greatest Mother's day ever!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my friend. I'm NOT SURE but I think I had your same wedding dress. I'd have to see it closer up but from what I can tell it was exactly like mine. I got married in 9/78. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday and Mother's Day, too!
