What a gorgeous rose.  Did you grow it?  It looks like "Peace" but could be a newer variety.

I think it is Peace, I planted it 14 years ago and it always blooms beautifully!

Hope everyone Mom has a great weekend.  Biggest privilege I have ever been given was to be a mother to my incredible children.    And even at my age, I still miss my Mom.  She hated Mother's Day!!  Always said "if you can't be nice to me all year, then don't be nice to me on Mother's Day"   See why I miss her?  She was one of a kind!!

Another "my Mom" story----she was a single Mom of 5.  Since she hated Mother's Day, we had to figure out a different way to honor her.  We had MAD Day for her. Mom And Dad =MAD.  After she died, we found many of our hand made cards we gave her on MAD day.    So whatever you call the day, hope it is a good one!

For those of you who are great moms, those of us who plan to be great moms and those who have great moms......

REAL MOTHERS

Real Mothers don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it.
Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox.
Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.
Real Mothers know that dried play dough doesn't come out of shag carpets.
Real Mothers don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up.
Real Mothers sometimes ask ' why me? ' and get their answer when a little voice says, ' because I love you best. '
Real Mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade...It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mom to Mother...

The Images of Mother

4 YEARS OF AGE
My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE
My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE
My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.

14 YEARS OF AGE
Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.

16 YEARS OF AGE
Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.

18 YEARS OF AGE
That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE
Well, she might know a little bit about it.

35 YEARS OF AGE
Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE
Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE
Wish I could talk it over with Mom.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries, Or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
And the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

My oldest daughter sent me a dozen roses this weekend for Mother's Day.  They are all colors and are sitting on the kitchen counter.  I smile every time I walk by them. She dais that I always say noone gives me flowers, so this will shut me up for awhile.   :bandance;

AlohaBeth sent me a beautiful spring bouquet--tulips, lilies, daisies, larkspur. She worked for the florist, so they all take care of her and they made my arrangement gorgeous.    Hugs to my sweet girl!!

My mother died two years ago. I think of her every time I see ads for Mother's Day gifts. (I still dream of her, but that's another story).

Karol, thanks for the rose, and for the poem, sentiments!  My son is supposed to take me out to a movie tomorrow. And yes, I will have the popcorn toO!!!!  We're thinking Iron Man. Sounded good to me!

To all my fellow mothers, whether in actuality or in thought:

Happy Mothers Day and may you be blessed all year!
