My Wonderful Mother

I was blessed to have an extraordinary woman as my mother.

I wish so badly she were here so that I could tell her of my great love and admiration for her.

She was such a good, kind, thoughtful woman.

And,

TALENTED!

My goodness, she was talented.

This is a statement from an article written by Tiffany Lewis for the Deseret News;

My grandmother learned to paint late in life, after all her children had grown and left home. She painted mostly from photographs of her beloved Yellowstone National Park. She painted until her hand could no longer hold a paintbrush steady. Then she turned to making intricate stockings and ornaments for all her grandchildren. Her handiwork is something all our family cherishes.



Oh, dear Heavenly Father; thank you for the gift of an amazing woman for my dear mother.

A Wonderful Trip

....but I'm also grateful to be home.

We went on a cruise around the Panama Canal.

It was relaxing, warm, enjoyable and we met some wonderful people.

But, the truth is, I'm very much a homebody.

So, I'm grateful to be home.

GOOD HEALTH

I probably say this several times month, but it is such a great blessing.

And, I am continually grateful and want to take advantage of this great blessing.

Oh, yes, it is good to be healthy.
