Happy Mothers Day


Ok, this is actually from last Mothers day but I love this shot of our beautiful daughter and her equally beautiful grandmother. Haven't written much about my Mom lately, tho she is constantly on my mind. She has been in the hospital several times in the last month (actually spent Mothers day waiting for surgery) but next week she gets out of rehab...yea! She will be staying with my sister (aka Wonder-Nurse) for the summer and possibly beyond, relaxing on their deck overlooking wooded acres with Mt. Shasta in the background.
Can't imagine giving up summer in the valley (aka hell)
but to each his own :)

ps. I know it's the best possible place for her to be,
but we're sure going to miss her.

That's a great picture. I'm glad your mom is going to your sisters, and I know you will miss her. Are you still working on getting Skype?
