Wednesdays With My Mom

I thought it would be fun to show how beautiful my mom (and daddy) looked on their wedding day and then how fabulous she still looked five children later.
That's me in my mom's arms. Every time we look at this photo together, she reminds me of how she decided to put that little rosebud in my hair that morning (which happened to be Easter). It always makes me smile.

My beautiful mother sitting on her back porch. How fortunate she is to be the only one to have a huge tree to shade her porch in the afternoon. Disappointing news...they have decided to discontinue Wednesday Afternoon Entertainment. It's gone back to only Fridays again. Attendance was too low to make it cost effective. So I guess they are just going to have Karaoke each Wed. afternoon. My mom use to have the most amazing range. In her High School choir, she and one other girl were the ones who sang high soprano above the rest. However, with age, she has lost much of her ability to sing. So...we just sat and watched the others and enjoyed the old-time music. Here's cute little Marge singing.

Cute Joan doing a little dance for us. : )
Do you see the words on the screen? Well, this photo is of J.J. playing the trombone for us. Hee-hee...so cute!!!

ADORABLE STORY: While grocery shopping with my mom today, she retired to the bench up front before we finished because her right leg was giving her a bit of trouble. So I finished up and as I was walking up to say, "Ready Eddie?", she was happily putting all of her coins in a little machine for the Children's Miracle Network. Each coin did little tricks on the way down (one of those cause and effect deals). So when I reached her, she looked up and said, "Would you like to put some in?" I couldn't resist. I felt like a kid again being told I could have a quarter for the machine that gives you a beautiful "diamond" ring or one of those necklaces you get to eat all the way home!! Aww...the memories. : )
