More Musings on Little Things for which to be Thankful . . .
1. Happy Mother's Day greetings from ALL SEVEN of my children this year
(Hooray for Skype, iphones, and international flat rates)
Here is a picture of the last time they were all together -
August 2009
Matthew, Marie, Christian, Emily, Lauren, Bryant, Lissie
They are all very dear to me
2. My first ever "haengen Geranien" for my balcony
(This is the idea -- just a bit of German influence)
3. Allergy season is almost over
(Every spring I am compelled to consider every imaginable allergy remedy. This year's winners -- Aphedrid, a good dose of steam, and the great indoors!)
4. A scholarship that will take care of the rest of this year's tuition
(Hooray again!)
5. Hard working children
(2010-2011 school year is coming to a close)
6. A hard working husband
(we all love him dearly)
7. An abundance of wild poppies growing in my yard this year
(no other yard around has had the same spontaneous blessings!)

This is basically what my front and side yard look likeThis ends my list of seven (not so little) things!
Those poppies are to die for! I loved Skyping with you this morning. You are the best, Mom! All day long I've been thinking about how lucky I am to have a mom like you. :)
ReplyDeleteI love those geraniums! I just bought some fake ones for our living room. They're so pretty! :) That's a good list. I love you, mom. Can't wait to be all together again at Christmas!!!
ReplyDeleteI love poppies! and geraniums! This is a wonderful list! I'm glad that you heard from all of your seven children for mother's day! You are a wonderful mom and I love you so much! :)
