A Mother's Day Wish and Everyday Rambles

 I'm just popping in to say hello and

share some of my life ramblings.

It's been a very chilly week here.

The wood stove has been brought

back to life with cozy fires.

That's life in the mountains!

Other than it being very hard on my plants,

I don't mind. This Ohio born girl loves 

a cloudy day or five ;)

We have been busy this week preparing for our annual

spring jaunt to our Sugartree place in Ohio. 

We may be selling but our youngest daughter

and niece may rent it if we can work it out.

We have mixed feelings about that.

She'd be 1800 miles away.

How fitting that we get to see our 

Oklahoma kids and grandbabies

on Mother's Day. And then we travel to MO to see

our daughter and her new baby.

We're so excited to see them all!

Here are some Mother's Day flowers for all of you.

They are from the last year's gardens.

I haven't written much about everyday life for awhile.

I've been working on some crafts.

I will post some when I get back which won't be until June.

Last week, we helped watch our daughter's five

children while she and her husband flew to Virginia

for his grandfather's funeral. We had

such a fun time with them!

We attended a Kentucky Derby celebration at 

one of the restaurants where we sing. 

The owner is from Caintuck. 

It was AMAZING! So well done.

Decorations, games and a lovely buffet of

southern foods.

We have been playing music every Wednesday evening at a

little restaurant in the mountains. Last night was

the last evening of the season there. It was sad to leave it.

There are such wonderful regulars 

who come to listen. And those who work there 

are very gracious and helpful.

The Derby party was the official opening of the season at

the Foxfire, so we will be gathering there to share

our music through early fall.

Music! always MUSIC!

 I must go now and work on watering and packing.

It's been so nice to drop in. I will be 

coming by to visit you while I'm traveling.

What a lovely time to remember our Mothers.

Mine has been gone for many years and how I wish 

I could see her once again to 

honor and love on her just one more time.

I hope you're all well and that you have the 

most wonderful Mother's Day, 

feeling honored and treasured.

Thank you so much for your visit!
