Just Me and My Moms

Happy Mother's Day!  Some of us are mothers....and we all had/have one! Some of are lucky to have more than one!

I heard from both my sons...and spent the day joyfully puttering. What could be better than that! 

And I picked myself a little spring bouquet.  

  

I get a little sentimental on Mother's Day....and I think I post this photo every year. It's the only photo I have or even know of that's just me and my mom. She died back in 1988 when I was just 29 years old.

I have wonderful memories of my mom...but not as many as I would like. I wished I knew her longer while I was an adult.  She was pretty busy when I was young raising nine children on a farm.

I wrote about one of my favorites memories here:  https://joyfulputtering.blogspot.com/2019/01/the-dining-room-light.html



I also cherish this photo...four generations.  Three moms and a boy.


I'm so lucky to have another mother...and several mother figures scattered throughout my life.  I love having my mother-in-law Margie nearby....she fills in all the gaps and cracks that this daughter needs filled.

I do have several photos of just me and my other mom....and they make me smile.

Happy Mother's Day Margie!

  1. Happy Mother's Day, MaryAnn!

    Your 4-generation photo especially struck a chord with me. I sent my daughter 3 successive 4-generation photos today, starting with one where I was the baby with my mom, grandmother, and greatgrandmother.

    And I LOVE the photo of just you and your mom ❤️

    1. Thanks Dotty! It's so wonderful that you have so many 4-generation photos. My mom died not long after that photo...and I lived "away" so this is the only one I have.
