Happy Mother's Day!

My mom called me the other day just to tell me how much she enjoys reading my blog.  She said all the right "Mom" things to say:  I could write a book (if I wanted to), I could be a speaker (again, if I wanted to), I am as enjoyable to listen to as the pros. 

Now, those statements reflect more on my mom than on me. 

She's always been a great support.


She taught me skills and spent time with me.


Above all, I have always known that she loves me.


Happy Mother's Day, Mom! 

Thankful thought:  Thanks for my mom, my grandmas, and my mother-in-law, each of whom has been a great support to me.  I'm so lucky to be associated with such wonderful, strong women!

    This is such a nice post. You are so lucky to have a Mom like that. I didn't, but I did have a wonderful Gramma & most wonderful MIL.

    Thanks for stopping by to visit, Kristi. Glad you enjoyed my tour.

It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
