This was a country gospel song that my mom used to sing to me when I was a little girl.  In my research

I've found that a lot of artists have recorded this song, but I believe I am correct with it being written by Bob Ferguson.

Do you remember this old song?

A Farewell

This was a picture of Mom and Dad that was 

taken soon after they married - 69 years ago.

On Monday, September 12 my mother 

traveled to her eternal home.

 I take comfort in knowing that I will see her again.

My home is in heaven.  

I'm just traveling through this world.

- Billy Graham

My Sweet Mama

Life began with waking up and loving my mother's face. 
~George Eliot

My sweet Mama. Not only is she beautiful on the outside - but most importantly - she is beautiful on the inside.

Summer Scenery

 Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. 
 ~ Henry James

 A typical summer scene in our little country town.

Happy Mother's Day

Among the Thorns

I am amazed that these little guys can flit around and land on these thorny plants without getting pricked.

Every moment of life is so precious. 
Take a moment, slow down, and enjoy it.

The Purest Love

When you look into your mother’s eyes, you know 
that is the purest love you can find on this earth.

~ Mitch Albom

Dear Friends,
My mother is doing better and has stabilized. We have had her transferred to a Nursing/Rehabilitation Center closer to my father where he can visit her daily.
She still has a long road to recovery but hopefully with Physical Therapy she will be able to return to her home at some point.
I appreciate all of your prayers and positive thoughts! I hope to be visiting you soon!

Time with Mom

**Remembering a beautiful Summer Saturday spent with my mother before her illness. 

This is a shot of the Greenbrier River in Talcott, West Virginia. It was foggy, and my goal was to get a shot of the fog rising off of the river

While we were here, we stopped and listened to the birds. It is amazing the sounds you hear if you just stop......and listen.

Our next stop was in Lowell, West Virginia...a little community that borders Talcott. I saw this sign and asked Mom if this footbridge was still in use. She said she thought it was and proceeded to tell me that as a little girl, over 70+ years ago she used to cross this bridge. This is a bridge over the Greenbrier River.  She would have to walk across this when she visited her Aunt and Uncle 

I have to admit, I was a little scared crossing over this.

It had some partial slats missing...and I never should have looked DOWN

through one of those slats. Yikes...I was a little scared after that.

But Mom wasn't! She would have gone all of the way across.

One of the lessons I learned this weekend.

I need to STOP and LISTEN!

I'm sure my Mom has told me the story of her crossing this bridge before.

But I probably just didn't listen. This weekend I did.

And this memory I shared with my Mom I will never forget.
