Memorial Day 2013

 Hopefully you all had a restful day, enjoyed a great cookout with your family and friends, and before you chowed down on that Barbeque you took time to remember the many brave men and women who scaraficed their lives so that we may enjoy this awesome thing called "FREEDOM".

As usually Henry had to work so Harrington, BJ and I spend the day relaxing. I went walking this morning and took BJ along for company since Harrington didn't want to go with me.He was going to hike Lookout Mountain with a friend. He didn't bother to ask if I wanted to go along,that's ok, I'll remember that when he wants me to take him and his friends somewhere. :)
We barbequed yesterday and enjoyed our leftovers today, so today was a very  good day!

Mother's Day 2013

Before I Was Myself, You Made Me, Me

Nicholas Gordon

 Before I was myself you made me, me
With love and patience, discipline and tears,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,

Allowing me to sail upon my sea,
Though well within the headlands of your fears.
Before I was myself you made me, me

With dreams enough of what I was to be
And hopes that would be sculpted by the years,
Then bit by bit stepped back to set me free,

Relinquishing your powers gradually
To let me shape myself among my peers.
Before I was myself you made me, me,

And being good and wise, you gracefully
As dancers when the last sweet cadence nears
Bit by bit stepped back to set me free.

For love inspires learning naturally:
The mind assents to what the heart reveres.
And so it was through love you made me, me
By slowly stepping back to set me free.

Happy Mother's Day Mother Dear!
Thanks for the memories  but above all your unconditional Love .

Today was a very good day. Harrington and I started our day by attending church at 7:30 A.M. followed by Sunday School. We got home about 11:30 and had brunch and the rest was history. Harrington and I were knocked-out sleep on opposite ends of the sofa with Mr. B in the middle. It's been a while since I've had a good Sunday afternoon nap, sure was nice. I think I'll declare at least one Sunday a month as Mother's Day. The guys don't have to give me gifts and cards, just  a day of TOTAL Rest.
