...."When I love.."

"...I give it all I've got...like my mother does."  (even if it means getting your heart ripped out sometimes by certain teenage children.  )






Grateful for:
1)  spring day with top down and the above song on replay. Again and again.  And the hope that maybe someday my own children will be thinking of me with songs like this, and grateful for the strenght, love and good example that my mom gave to me.
2) lunch at park with bestie = free therapy for one and all
3) beautifying another bestie's windowboxes with Fiber Optic plants,  Tobacco Flower, heliotrope, ivy geraniums, lantana, licorice plant, angelonia, wave petunias, nemisia and much more.
4) the scary fact that I know the names of all those without batting an eye.   Makes up for the unbelievable decline in brain power that happens on an increasing basis. Daily, it seems.
5) Tuesday nite's "family of 4" for an hour and a half while big girls are at YW.  Tonite was Parcheesi and Luke and Em's smiles during it are priceless.
