Mother's Nosegay

I love this sweet little card.  A daughter dreams of the smile she'll see on her Mother's face when she gives her this beautiful bouquet.  When one is a child, the smile on Mom's face is one of the most wonderful things in the world.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

Mother's Darling - Postcard Friendship Friday #115

 

This photograph reminds me of when my own sweet children were little.  

If truth be known, I wanted to be a mother from the moment I understood what Mothers were all about.  I had the dream of raising twelve children and tending a rose garden.  Of course, as a tiny child I did not realize the tremendous work and responsibility required of a Mother.  Yet, even as I wax further in years, I still love children of every age.

There is something so precious about Mothers and their children.  There is something amazing about the pure love found in a Mother's heart.

I think of my own darling Mumsie.  She is getting up in years, yet her heart still overflows with love for her six children--of whom I am the eldest.  Happy Mother's Day, dear Mums.  I love you--thank you for everything.  YOU are an incredible Mom.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

A Gift for Mother - Guest Heart Thursday

There's something about that boy's grin--one imagines the dog to be her Mother's Day gift.  The whole idea makes me giggle.  I can just imagine the ruckus the two of them will make in that dear Mom's life!

Happy Mother's Day and happy Guest Heart Thursday!

The Bottom of the Matter - Postcard Friendship Friday #114

I laughed and laughed over this wonderfully politically incorrect postcard.  What I adore about this picture is the loving way this old Mom is holding that squirming young'un and the resolute look on her face which says however reluctant she might feel, what must be done, must be done.

I am grateful to my own precious Mum for her caring discipline of me when I was small.  She taught me right from wrong in no uncertain terms.  Now that I'm grown, with dear children of my own, I have a deep and abiding respect for my Mother.  She is one of my best Friends and I treasure her with all my heart.

It is a privilege to be her daughter.

Have a lovely day everyone!

A Note From Grammie - Sunday Scans

Here is another of Grammie's cards.  She saved it, I am sure, because it was from her beloved daughter--my own sweet Mumsie.  She loved it so much, she dated it 1956 and wrote, "Eva gave me a beautiful fern.  I'll always remember after it dies.  I can see it plainly."

It makes me wonder what story there may be behind this card!

Because You Are So Special - Sunday Scans

Here is another of Grammie Jenny's cards.  This is from her best Friend Ruth.  Their friendship was so rich and beautiful.  I'm so glad we have a record of their loving hearts toward one another.  I especially love this card with it's bright and cheery pansies.
