Mother's Day On The Road

I recently spent my Mother's Day in a car driving across the United States. I was once again traveling home after supporting my husband with health issues. His checkup was good and he continues to be in remission. So even though I was in the car, my Mother's Day was good! I had lots of time to reflect back about the wonderful times I spent with my children and the fact that I had been very blessed to be a mother. I recalled the weekends spent at baton twirling competitions with my daughter and watching her play tennis as if she were born with the racket in her hand. I thought about all the fun days watching my son play ball and the fact that his love of baseball gives me such joy. And then, I thought about Laney and the joy she has brought me now that my children are adults. I think I'm one lucky mom to have such wonderful memories. And now, I have new memories to add. As my trip ended and I pulled into the driveway, I was greeted by Laney and my front porch filled with with beautiful flowers from my beautiful children. Life is great!!!

Pink

The people who know me well, know that my favorite color is pink. I find it to be calming and pleasing to the eye. It is also a good color for Laney. She has pink sweaters for winter and pink bows for her hair. I wonder if she likes the color pink also. In celebration of her birthday this past week, I think I'll wear pink. She is now six years old and a wonderful four legged friend. If I could, I would send pink fireworks into the sky to show my love for her. She has been a wonderful addition to my life and a good friend to share my love of pink with. In celebration of my Laney wear pink. She and I will certainly notice and maybe even comment. Happy Birthday Laney!!
