Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!

This is a pic of my mom taken on her wedding day about 10 years or so before I was born.

Most (almost all) of our family pictures were lost in a moving accident and there are very few pictures of my mother around from this time period and from my childhood.

She has been gone a few years now, but I know she is still hanging around here, whispering (shouting) advice in my ear.

Am hoping to be waited on hand and foot for Mother's Day- looks like a family bike ride and a lunch out is in my future!

Friday Finds - going to the chapel ...
