FACE BOOK POST-(about Mom's Christmas basket)

Remembering my sweet mom....

This little crochet Christmas basket is one Mom made for me 40+ years ago for a Christmas gift! It's one thing I look for, first, every year when I do my Christmas decorating!

    I love this because it still
    has the little plastic flowers
    that Mom arranged in it,
    all those years ago...
    and of course the crochet work 
    is special. It was at a time
    when Mom had very little $$ 
    for gifts 
    (after my dad had passed)
    but she always managed to get
    around with something 
    for everyone.

    Miss my mom very much.
    

    Love,

Mom's Christmas flowers-2011

The month of December is 'getting on with it,' and I'm falling behind with everything - even more so than usual! 

  I decided I needed to get Mom's Christmas flowers out  today, before time completely got away from me!  Charles was happy and willing to take me, and we had an enjoyable time together, though, of course, it was shadowed with some sadness.  Still, I felt better, having brightened that little spot up for this holiday!

~Love and miss my Mom~

~~~

On a lighter note...

On the way out we were riding behind this

' Country Redneck's' pickup!

  We got a kick out of this elaborately decorated truck,  but I was only able to get a good look and picture of the back!

It's interesting and often, amusing,  to see the diversity of people! What turns one person on, another may find silly or trite...or a total waste of money!

Oh well, I'm not much of a pick-up kind of person anyway...well lighted and decorated, or not!!

:)

( PS-can you read that sign?)

Pretty cool!

The Log House 

(posted Jan 2006)

...in my young years we lived in several different houses - in Alabama and later in Florida.(I remember living in 7 different houses, in Alabama, alone, in my early years)
This is one I remember well, as it was kind of scary place with woods all around. I remember being with Mom at the spring where she washed our clothes. We were always aware of the possibility of snakes around that place. Snakes were one of Mom's greatest fears.
She told of an encounter with a rattle snake, when my brother was a young boy!(he's 13 years older than me) Between the two of them they managed to kill it! Thankfully, I never had any close calls with snakes!

~~~~~~


The Log House…


Nights in the log house were scary,
with lights that were extinguished with a puff of Mama’s breath
-not a switch on the wall.

After our prayers were said,
in which we went through the list of all our loved ones to be blessed
and kept safe through the night,
Mama would then look under each bed,
making sure no SNAKES had found a way into our house!

…Just an extra measure, of Mama’s-to keep us safe! :)

January 6 ~ a date of importance~

~~~

January 6, 1909 was the date my mom was born.

 This month on the 27th will be 8 years since she left us.

January will always be a sad time for me.  Yesterday's gloomy, gray skies didn't help  at all to lift my spirits!

Charles and I went out for a few minutes yesterday. The flowers that my daughter and I had taken early in Dec were still nice... so I just added some holly.

 Always with love,

Junie

~Fall flowers for Mom~

~~~

Today Charles and I took some silk fall flowers and colorful leaves for Mom.  I hadn't changed her flowers since my sister and I were out in the spring...

(Somehow summer slipped away) 

Someone had added a bunch of beautiful Hibiscus flowers  since we were there and since they still looked fresh and pretty I just added the fall colors to them!

(Mom would love them together anyway )

In January it will be 8 years since Mom left us and I can honestly say she has been in my thoughts every single day of all those years.

In case any of you have doubts of who the greatest love is, in your life, take a lesson from me...You'll have no greater love than your mom.

(at least not in this mortal world)

Don't wait until it's too late to say those words to her and to show your love in your actions!

 

I hope I expressed my love in words and deeds to my

dear mom....

What I would not give to have a hug from my mom one more time-and to see her sweet smile!

This statue stands near Mom's place. It's a comfort for me to see this when I go out there.

  

This picture
(below)shows the spot where my nephew and grand niece  lie...so near to Mom.

( "Ma-Ma" -Paul's grandmother and Brenda's great-grandmother)

They died together in a motorcycle accident after Mom passed away.

(Thankfully-in this mortal life- Mom was spared the heartache of losing those loved ones and also, Phil - Paul's brother)

So much sadness, visiting out there...Well... but really- there is no escaping it, anyway!

I guess the only way NOT to hurt is Not to love at all- and I wouldn't want that!

This has always been, and will always remain, one of my favorite photos! It's my granddaughter on her 4th birthday with her great-grandma- 'Ma-Ma.' My mom (Ma-Ma) and Alli were best buddies from Alli's birth until she was age 12 when Ma-Ma had to leave us.

I call this photo-
'Love-Pure and Simple!'

Mom’s Last Roses


These are Mom’s last roses.
I kept a
little part
of all the roses given,
from every grieving heart.

I
handled them so gently
and dried them - as you see.
I found the
perfect basket-
arranged them carefully.

I found the sweetest
ribbon,
and made this fancy bow-
attaching it, expertly!
It had
to be - just so!

It had to turn out special,
and easily
convey…
how much I do still love her
and miss her every day!

These
are Mom’s last roses.
They’ll always be a part
of all my memories
of her
and the sorrow in my heart.
