T.........ime for Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving for me has always been about family. As in many homes, my mom was always the center of that family. This year, we are particularly grateful, as our 95 year old mother is making a recovery from some serious falls and a relatively long hospital stay. She's pictured here a couple of years ago with her first great, great grandchild. She continues to bless us with her spirit and caring so this Thanksgiving will be extra special!

H.........appy Mothers Day!

My husband and I, senior citizens both, are very fortunate to have our mothers still with us, but we find so many friends who really miss their mothers. When I receved this gift from my own daghters and sons-in-law which included a darling plush elk and a certificate, I realized that we always do have a mother....Mother Earth. This gift, which they gave me through the Sierra Club, is a sponsorship to aid in the preserving of the Grand Canyon, a National Park that is dear to my heart. So on this Mothers Day, we are not only celebrating with our own mothers, but with Mother Earth as well. May they all be blessed!
