Tuesday SOLSC - 1/28/14 - Remembering My Mom

Twenty-five years (2/2/1989)
Where has it gone?
It seems like yesterday
That she went to live with God.
The memories I have
In my mind and heart

She was a fantastic woman
Who brought delight to many.
She loved
She cared
She shared
She gave her all
She fought her battles
Always with a smile
She taught me so much
About life and how important
God was to her.
She relied on Him for everything
And lived her life for His Glory.


I miss her so
each and every day.
I know she's watching
me and my family.

Mom, I hope I've made you proud
I try to live my life
by following your examples.
Thank you, Mom, for being
so special.

    I know Grandma is SO proud of us all. I can't even believe 25 years. I can still see her, smell her, feel her arms around me. She was an amazing women, mom, and grandma. Thanks for the memories.

    "And lived her life for His Glory." Isn't this the reason why her memory is so powerful? She loved, and love leaves memories! Beautiful way to start my morning by reading your memories!

    This is a sweet piece about your mom. I think you are a woman of God who lives her life for his glory too. When is your next habitat build, by the way? xo

    It is so hard to believe '89 was twenty-five years ago. Your mother sounds like a wonderful woman, I'm sure she is proud because you are a caring and compassionate woman too. We tend to live our life from the model we were raised.

    What a lovely tribute to your mom! She sounds really special. I love the repetition of short phrases in the second stanza -- very powerful!

SOL 18/31 - The Realtor's Came Yesterday

Image
Yesterday, the realtor's came to look at our house.  Our realtor only brings his own people thru, so it wasn't too bad.  Max slept thru most of it until they went upstairs where he was sleeping.  He barked briefly, came downstairs, got petted and pampered a little.  They walked thru the house, in the bedroom, up the stairs, down the stairs, looked things over, asked a few questions and 15 minutes later out the door they went. Our realtor told me he has had a couple of calls - one from a neighbor (being nosy) and another from a realtor who said this house is exactly what his clients are looking for, but they had just left the day before it was listed.  But could they put in an offer sight unseen?  Really???  Is this just a realtor's ploy to make us feel good or is it real?  No offer yet, but who knows.  It could happen. I breathed a sigh of relief.  Max looked at me as if to say "Is that it?  Can I go back to sleep now?". ...

Tuesday SOL 10/23/12 - Mr. Pockets goes to school

Last week there was an article in our local newspaper that I found fascinating and wanted to share it with you.  This is a story about a dog who listens as children read out loud.  It's a new program in our school district and I'm proud that our district is using this innovative program to help students learn. Animals are so loving, caring and accepting, and the students love to have someone that they can read to and to be loved unconditionally. I hope you enjoy the article. http://www.baxterbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/201210200500/NEWS01/310200014
