Summertime-and-the-livin’-is-easy-life is getting real close! Mother’s Day weekend found us eating our delicious meal on the front porch of my daughter’s home. They live in a 100+ year old home and my son-in-law completely gutted the front porch and rebuilt it in true early 1900-style. He is a stickler of tradition and did a magnificent… [Read More]
Quietude: May 14 2017
The font in the image above is called Windsong – seemed appropriate because that was my mom’s favorite perfume. The yellow rose is symbolic of her eternal home in heaven…and mine.
