There's a sweet story behind this photo, below:
Sara said to me as I was leaving, "Mom, will you take a picture of Grandmother when you first walk in? I love how happy she is when you first arrive and she sees you." This one's for you, sweet Sara. : )
It was another "Frosty" kind of day.
Then we did some coloring on her puppy picture. My sister, June, said the two of them did quite a bit more a few days after this picture was taken, last week. She really seems to enjoy this activity.
And time for some more "brain games". : )
Cute "Hawkeye"!!! Sara just loves him on those recent Science shows he does on PBS. She's always saying how adorable he is (I'm pretty sure he's a Grandpa now). And if so, I'm sure he's one of the sweetest Grandpa's EVER!!!
I found this old pic in my files the other day and "doctored it up", just for fun.You sure are a cutie, Princess G. :-D
I know I'm a day late getting this post out...blame it on Taxes!!!!!!! I hate tax time! It takes over your life for a few days while you TRY to get your act together. Or am I the only one? Probably so! : (At least it's done for another year. Something to celebrate! : )

I too love to colour. I find it so relaxing. Thanks so much for sharing. loved the pics.
Love to see your Mom on Wednesdays!! It is so good that she keeps mentally active by doing crafts and puzzles that stimulate her mental functioning. Sorry, it is the nurse in me that is speaking. I loved the pic that said "G.G." That was what my Mom was known as to her great grans....G.G.!!

Thank you so much for dropping by my blog & leaving such kind words!

YES to board games! Awesome good ol' fashioned brain health. Thanks for the comment on my poodle and mom story today. A day to remember for sure. Life has such an odd way of coming full circle but it's wonderful to sit and expect the next miracle around the corner. I spent the whole afternoon at the Alzheimer Society here planning an Alzheimer Walk and I'm doing a cake walk and forming a fund raising team. I'm all fired up about it to earn money for research.
What a doll your Sara is! And she's right ~ your Mom does look so happy to see you! She also looks like she's enjoying her Frosty ~ we have a lot of Frosty days here. A large chocolate Frosty can make any kind of day a perfect day for my dear father-in-law!
P.S. you are not the only one! Ick to tax time!
Hi Mary lou!!!!
I know you know how much I love Wed. with MOM!!!!She is such a sweet lady and reminds me so much of my Mom, well my Mom is only 74, but something about the way your MOM looks reminds me of my MOM!!!!I love that last pic of your darling grand daughter doing the same thing as great grammy!!!!!

Grandma in photo one looks like one of my great grandmothers! Very matriarchal!
The last shot of your mom and granddaughter was precious!
Glad your taxes are done!
Happy Easter, ML! Have a glorious weekend!!
I think EVERYONE hates taxes. But we all love the refunds if you're lucky enough to get one back. :) Did you get our blog working?
Mary Lou, I know your days are so very precious with your mother. Know that she will be in so many of our hearts for many Easters to come. Elizabeth
Our business accountant is usually so busy he always files an extension for us and we get him the tax info about June...it works for both of us.
Love the old photo of your mom and grandparents. I really admire how much time individuals took to dress and look nice whenever they went out.
I remember my grandma in the 1960's putting on a dress with hat, gloves, matching purse and handbag just to go to (little) town for a day of shopping and buying groceries! And she went to the beauty salon every week to have her hair done.
Lovely post, wonderful way to keep a journal of your activities with your mom.
Hi there friend!
This post tickled me...the pictures are all great-I just love the second one of your Mom when you arrive. I know seeing you would put an immediate smile on my face! Hope you have a perfectly wonderful Easter with whichever your family members you're getting together with. I never even got cards made this year...too much swapping! (One more to go...a tussie mussie!)
Big hugs for you!
Joyce
As usual, I love all your pictures. Especially love the first one. Everyone was so glamorous looking in those days. All those fabulous clothes just make me drool. :)
what a dear post of G.G. and those sunglasses were the *cat's meow* i'm sure. lol.
taxes: boooooo!
I wanted to stop by and wish you and your family a blessed Easter Sunday.
I especially love that picture where the little one is copying grandma! :)
This was such a wonderful post, Mary Lou! I loved seeing all the vintage items and your sweet family members, too. Precious! Lori
