Happy Mother's Day

For those of you who celebrate Mother's Day today - have a GREAT ONE!  Even for those of you who celebrate on a different day - you can give a kind thought to your mother today just for extra measure.  I am remembering my Mom today - we lost her 2 years ago now.  Below is our little family, that's me in the middle.  My older sister and brother are twins.
And here is a family photo from my Mom's 70th birthday - all of our family is here except my sister Roberta's 2 sons who did not attend.  
Didn't my Mom look good at 70?  :-) 
We've sure been busy.. yesterday we attended our daughter-in-law Beth's graduation from Washington State University with a degree in Accounting. Here is our son Shawn, Beth, Michael, Gabriel, Dayle and I. 





Our daughter called from Ohio to visit with us and I got to talk to my granddaughter. Have a great day and we're off to our next social engagement! :-) ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

  7. Thanks for sharing your family with us! My mom died in 2007 at the age of 90. She was a very creative, busy person who worked as a nurse in Boston prior to marriage. She made many of our clothes, was a good cook, knit and crocheted a lot, could play the piano, and painted some lovely botanical paintings. She served in the community and at church and loved to play word and card games. I am grateful she helped give me life. I hope you made more happy memories celebrating today, Teresa! <3
