I have two acres designated for your Monarch Memorial Garden.  The internet is an excellent resource.  I planted bulbs in the fall and am going to start lavendar seeds before the end of the month.   Thus far the flowers are: allium, hyacinth, alllisium, sunflower, morning glory, 4O'clocks, butterfly bush, beebalm, and a bunch more.The Monarchs have started their migration from Mexico.  Their numbers increased but were still low.  I'll post pictures and give you updates.  I love you

All of your children have been blessed with the personal time and relationships that we had with you. The other day I was thinking about going to Texas to see Pooh and Carla and it bought back a lot of our traveling memories.

When we went to Missouri to handle uncle Lawrences business we stopped at that McDonalds in Pittsfeild and ate breakfast. Momma talked about the trips she had made to Pittsfeild back in the day. She made it sound like Pittsfeild was somewhere to be. She told a story that I don't remember the details too, but I know she had me cracking up.

We went to Atlanta and she had me stop and pick up Miss Nelorie on the way. Me her Gigi and Miss Nelorie had one wild adventure and Miss Nelorie with her nonworking legs was a job and a joy. At first I wasn't that excited to drive out of the way to go and get her but I would have drove a zillion miles if Momma told me too just to make her smile. Turns out it sure was worth it .

But, I think when we picked up Olivia and drove to see Pooh and he had no idea that we were coming, that was the best trip we took together. we talked so much that the time flew by and the next thing I knew we were there.

Many a trip was made to Aurora when Judy lived there. I miss Aurora but,  I miss being in the car with Mom the most.

I was blessed with the opportunity to spend time sitting in a car for hours on end talking, laughing and agreeing to disagree with one of Gods greatest creations and I miss that. I'm trying to muster up the courage to do us again,  it's just so hard when us is me. I know I can because she showed me I could. I need her courage to get to I will.

Mom use to say she hated two types of people.....LIARS & THIEVES.  It is mind boggling to me that family would inflict those actions upon the very people they can depend on when life is rough.

 

There's the Good...the Bad .....& the Ugly in every family.  But the ones that choose to be the latter two ...should just pack up and go their merry way.  Don't burden the family with their short comings of character and nature.  Those actions are rooted in selfishness.  Everything we have....what little it is....we have worked for........why would our own blood take from us?

 

We should try to live each day in Mom's honor.  Do her proud and the world will be a better place for all of us.  It's amazing how much peace you will experience in your soul and spirit when you are doing what's right.

 

God help us.

Well, Mom & I went white water rafting today on the Rogue River in Quebec.  It's ranked one of the top ten rivers to raft in North America. It was an exciting adventure!  There were 6 passengers in the raft & only two of us did not fall out.  Proudly, I can scream....I was not one of them that fell out!  Mom & I went the entire course! 

 

She was right near my heart.....guiding and protecting me all of the way.  So, when it crossed my mind to do it again.....turn around and take another run......I heard her say, "Okay, don't be stupid.  Get your sh&% and go sit your old a$$ down somewhere".  I replied, "Yes, Mam".

 

So, I'm ready to plan the next big escapade and I know she is shaking her head....telling Jesus..."Please help my child....she ain't got it all".  lol
