I am going to share a few photos from around town on Memorial Day…..  we need to teach our children and grandchildren that it isn’t a day for shopping or picnicking…. the day should be about the warriors that lost their lives and gave the ultimate sacrifice.

I have a lot of shade in my back yard so I have a lot of hostas. I love all the different shades of green, blue, and yellow they are… brings some color to the shade!

My roses have started to bloom and the English Roses (David Austin roses) are really looking (and smelling) wonderful this year! They have managed to be very disease resistant in my yard so have survived! Hard to pick a favorite of  the ones blooming right now.. and I wish you could smell them ….heavenly!

Abby’s Dream Walk at a nearby school.  Abby (age 13) was diagnosed with lung cancer 4 years ago…. (yes, that is Booboo Stewart, who plays a werewolf in Twilight movies. He took time out of his busy schedule to participate in the walk)…..

There’s a small park I drive by in town where there is a memorial in memory of Macon's Major Cole Hogan Jr. I have never driven past when there wasn't an American Flag there. Hogan was killed in the attack on the Pentagon in Washington, DC on September 11, 2001. It reminds me to be thankful for the sacrifices so many make daily for all of us.

Happy Mother’s Day!

image

As I look back on my life
I find myself wondering...
Did I remember to thank you
for all that you have done for me?
For all of the times you were by my side
to help me celebrate my successes
and accept my defeats?
Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
good judgment, courage, and honesty?
I wonder if I've ever thanked you
for the simple things...
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared?
If I have forgotten to express my gratitude
For any of these things,
I am thanking you now...
and I am hoping that you've known all along,
how very much you are loved and appreciated.

I love you Mom

Happy Mother’s Day
